2030 World Cup to be Held in Morocco, Spain and Portugal Soccer

[Crabtree]

Morocco, Spain and Portugal will host the 2030 World Cup — but the opening three matches of the tournament will be played in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.

A South American bid had been put forward to host the entire tournament to mark the centenary of the very first World Cup and FIFA said on Wednesday that the decision to award Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay the opening games was part of the tournament's 100th anniversary.

All six countries will qualify automatically for the tournament and it will be the first World Cup to be held across three continents.

Great thinking as always from our trusted and loved football governing bodies

The proposal is that the opening three games will be one game each in Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. In a celebration of the 100th year anniversary of the first World Cup.

Then all the other games will be in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

Which is pretty much on a par with the UK and Ireland Euro bid.

Still seems a little ridiculous.

Portugal, Spain and Morocco makes sense, but then adding South America in for nostalgia is just idiotic. Have it either in South America, or leave it in Europe/Morocco.
