A symbolic ceremony was held before the nations played a Euro 2020 warm-up at Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium.
Spain's King Felipe VI and Portugal president Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa were present as each nation's prime minister signed an agreement to support the bid.

"The governments of Spain and Portugal wish to express their desire and commitment to host the 2030 World Cup," the agreement said.
Cheick Ismaël Tioté (21 June 1986 – 5 June 2017) was an Ivorian professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder. After playing for FC Bibo in his hometown of Yamoussoukro, he made his professional debut in 2005 with Belgium's Anderlecht. In 2008, after a loan at Roda JC, he joined Dutch club FC Twente, winning the Eredivisie in his second season. After that, he signed for Newcastle United in England for a fee of £3.5 million. Tioté played 156 games for Newcastle over six-and-a-half seasons, scoring one goal. In February 2017, he joined Beijing Enterprises of the China League One. He died of cardiac arrest in June 2017, during a training session, aged 30.
Tioté played 55 times for the Ivory Coast national football team from 2009 to 2015, scoring once. He represented the country at two FIFA World Cups and four Africa Cup of Nations, winning the 2015 edition of the latter.
The Eurovision Song Contest 1988 was the 33rd edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. The contest took place on 30 April 1988 in Dublin, Ireland, following the country's win at the previous 1987 edition. The presenters were Pat Kenny and Michelle Rocca. The host broadcaster was Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ ) which revamped the show's production style compared to its earlier editions, in order to appeal to a younger audience.
The winner was Switzerland with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi", performed by Canadian singer Céline Dion and composed by Atilla Şereftuğ with lyrics in French by Nella Martinetti. Switzerland beat the United Kingdom by just one point in the last vote to win the title. Twenty-one countries took part, after an initial plan of twenty-two, as Cyprus was disqualified for breaching the contest's rules by being published a few years earlier, in an attempt to represent the country at a prior edition of the contest. The Cypriot song had been drawn to be performed 2nd in the running order.

Tbh I kinda felt like T&T would be kicked out when they were having stadium trouble by their local league. Then FIFA or CONCACAF sanction them for the stadium issue which made them not play for months. Then I noticed when they tied with Puerto Rico that they might be kicked out quickly, especially since St. Kitts & Nevis destroyed Guyana.
