A FIFA delegation says the main stadiums proposed by Spain and Portugal in their joint bid to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup are "ideal" venues for big games.
FIFA inspectors visited Barcelona's Camp Nou, Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium, Benfica's Stadium of Light and FC Porto's Stadium of the Dragon during a four-day tour to assess the bid.
"The Iberian bid has a good chance of being selected," delegation leader Harold Mayne-Nicholls said. "Our report is going to be very positive because we have observed that they have a great sport, hotel and transport infrastructure, as well as a strong support from their political and sports authorities."
Mayne-Nicholls added that the delegation was confident the peninsula's hotels and airports can cope with the influx of visitors.
FIFA has visited all the European bidders, leaving only the United States and Qatar.
