In the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup centenary in 2030, the global sports body has announced that the World Cup will take place across six countries, including Portugal, Spain, and Morocco – an all-time first for North Africa.

“In a divided world, FIFA and football are uniting,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino in an official statement.

To celebrate the very first FIFA World Cup that was played in Uruguay in 1930, three additional matches will be played in honorary host countries Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay. FIFA’s Council has also unanimously agreed the game in Uruguay will be hosted at Estádio Centenário in the nation’s capital city, Montevideo, “where it all began”.

“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,” explained Infantino.

Alongside the announcement of who will host the 2030 World Cup, the FIFA Council also approved the Bidding Regulations for both instalments of the FIFA World Cup, available in the Overview of the Bidding Processes document.
