The architects who drew up plans for a new Old Trafford are also working on this staggering new venue.
La Albiceleste were the defeated finalists back in 1930, while the South American football confederation – Conmebol – is located in Paraguay. Conmebol, the oldest football federation in the world, was the only one that had been incepted in time for the maiden World Cup.
“The centenary game will be played in Montevideo, Uruguay, in conjunction with the centenary celebration and ceremony, in recognition of Uruguay’s role as the host and winner of the 1930 edition”.
“A game will be played in Argentina in recognition of Argentina’s role as finalist and runner-up of the 1930 edition,” FIFA wrote. “A game will be played in Paraguay in recognition of Paraguay’s role as the home of CONMEBOL, the first and only confederation in existence at the time of the 1930 edition.”
Elsewhere, Saudi Arabia have won the rights to host the men’s World Cup in 2034 after their bid was uncontested and, thus, ratified at an online FIFA Congress on Wednesday.
