The Centenary World Cup will be hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, but will also involve other nations. As announced by FIFA, the first matches will take place in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay. The choice had already been confirmed in October 2023 as it was the only bid on the table, but it was ratified only today in the extraordinary FIFA Council.
2030 World Cup: The Program
Spain, Portugal, and Morocco will host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, while Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 edition. This was announced by FIFA during the video conference congress held today. For the 2030 edition, three of the first matches will be played in South America (Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay). This is a last-minute novelty, while the host countries had been known for some time, and only the official announcement was missing, which arrived today.
2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia: Now Official
Saudi Arabia has been chosen to host the 2034 Men’s FIFA World Cup, while Morocco, Portugal, and Spain will host the 2030 edition. The decision was made by acclamation during an extraordinary virtual congress of FIFA’s governing body. There were no competitors. The 2030 tournament will begin with three matches in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay to celebrate a century since the first World Cup in 1930 in Uruguay. All other matches will then be co-hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain. Morocco is the second African country to host the World Cup, after South Africa organized the tournament in 2010. Saudi Arabia secured the 2034 edition amid criticism from human rights groups regarding human rights issues. It will be the second World Cup in the Gulf region, following Qatar 2022, which was accompanied by heated debate over human rights.
