2030
On 16 March 2026, the mayor, Inés Rey, the Depor president, Juan Carlos Escotet (Abanca), and the Diputación announced the withdrawal: the redevelopment would have cost more than €100 million. A more modest modernisation of the stadium is going ahead instead. Vigo (Balaídos) has been put forward to replace A Coruña.

Not a host city: no matches scheduled in 2030.
