The 2030 FIFA World Cup will feature matches held in six countries across three continents, according to recent reports. The tournament aims to bring together nations from different regions to showcase the global nature of the sport. It is believed that multiple countries from South America, Europe, and Africa will collaborate to host the event, providing a unique opportunity for fans to experience the games in diverse locations. The decision to spread the tournament across multiple nations signifies a departure from the traditional single-country hosting model. This approach highlights the goal of promoting global unity and inclusivity in one of the world’s greatest sporting events..
The 2030 World Cup will be held across six countries in three continents, Fifa has confirmed.
Spain, Portugal and Morocco have been named as the co-hosts, with the opening three matches taking place in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.
The opening matches in South America are to mark the World Cup’s centenary as it will be 100 years since the inaugural tournament in Montevideo.
The decision is set to be ratified at a Fifa congress next year.
“In a divided world, Fifa and football are uniting,” said Fifa president Gianni Infantino.
“The Fifa Council, representing the entire world of football, unanimously agreed to celebrate the centenary of the Fifa World Cup, whose first edition was played in Uruguay in 1930, in the most appropriate way.
“In 2030, we will have a unique global footprint, three continents – Africa, Europe and South America – six countries – Argentina, Morocco, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain and Uruguay – welcoming and uniting the world while celebrating together the beautiful game, the centenary and the Fifa World Cup.”
Fifa also confirmed only bids from countries from the Asian Football Confederation and the Oceania Football Confederation will be considered for the 2034 finals.
Saudi Arabia is expected to bid to host the tournament in 2034 for the first time.
Montevideo in Uruguay, the city which hosted the first World Cup match in 1930, is poised to stage the opening game in 2030 with matches in Argentina and Paraguay to follow.
The rest of the 48-team tournament will then move to north Africa and Europe.
If the 2030 proposal is approved, Morocco would become only the second African nation to host a World Cup, after South Africa in 2010.
Portugal have never hosted the tournament, but Euro 2004 was held there.
Spain last hosted the World Cup in 1982, with Italy winning the tournament for the third time.
