Spain has established a framework of specialised working groups to coordinate government action related to the preparation of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, one of the most significant international sporting events scheduled for the coming decade. The initiative was formalised during a meeting of the Interministerial Commission responsible for the organisation and preparation of the tournament, chaired by the Minister of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, Milagros Tolón.
The newly approved structure includes several technical teams responsible for key areas linked to the organisation of the competition. These working groups will focus on legal matters, security planning, stadiums and infrastructure, accommodation and services for teams, transport and mobility, technological systems, communication strategies and overall coordination. The aim is to ensure effective management of public resources and a coordinated institutional response to the organisational challenges posed by the global event.

Spain creates working groups to coordinate public action for the 2030 FIFA World Cup
The Interministerial Commission brings together representatives from a wide range of government departments, reflecting the multi-sector nature of the tournament. Ministries responsible for foreign affairs, finance, interior, transport, industry, culture, economy, health and ecological transition are among those involved. The body’s vice presidency is held by the Secretary of State for Sport and president of the Higher Sports Council, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes.
The operational framework also includes collaboration with national and international sports institutions, as well as public administrations and organisations from the sports ecosystem. Entities such as the Spanish Olympic Committee, the Spanish Paralympic Committee and the national football federation participate in the process, alongside representatives from international football organisations and experts from the sporting and academic communities.
According to the established schedule, each working group will hold its first meeting before the end of May, allowing an initial progress report to be presented at the next session of the Interministerial Commission scheduled for June. At the same time, further coordination meetings with international football authorities will take place during technical visits to Spanish stadiums and host cities.
The 2030 World Cup will be the first intercontinental edition in history, organised jointly by Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Through this planning process, Spanish authorities aim to ensure that the tournament generates a lasting legacy for the country, strengthening its sporting infrastructure while delivering social and economic benefits.
