Determine the host of the 2030 World Cup

The International Football Federation (FIFA) announced that it would award hosting rights to the 2030 World Cup to Spain, Portugal and Morocco, although the opening match will take place in Montevideo (Uruguay).

Argentina's first match will take place in Argentina and Paraguay will also play their first match at home.

The first World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930 and the host team won.

This can be considered a World Cup on three continents, with 6 teams soon qualifying to participate in the tournament as hosts.

Among the official host countries, Spain hosted the 1982 World Cup.

The alliance of Spain - Portugal - Morocco and the South American team to organize the 2020 World Cup was voted on and approved by the FIFA council on Wednesday evening.

This unexpected move, according to sources familiar with the negotiations, began to take shape due to the Rubiales scandal.

The path to victory for Spain, Portugal and Morocco was foreshadowed when Saudi Arabia decided to withdraw its candidacy. Saudi Arabia's proposal along with Greece and Egypt to become the first World Cup to be held in three continents at the same time (Eurasia - Europe - Africa) has failed.

Saudi Arabia was willing to pay for the infrastructure of Greece and Egypt, but they realized they had no other choice so they decided to focus on organizing the 2034 World Cup.
