FIFA Confirms Joint Hosts for 2030 World Cup

FIFA has officially confirmed Morocco, Spain, and Portugal as the joint hosts for the 2030 World Cup, with the opening three matches to be played in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay to commemorate the tournament's centenary. This unprecedented arrangement marks the first time the World Cup will be hosted across three continents: Europe, Africa, and South America. The decision was ratified during a virtual FIFA Congress meeting, where the joint bid faced no competition. Additionally, Saudi Arabia has been confirmed as the host for the 2034 World Cup after being the only bidder for that edition. Concerns were raised by Norway regarding the bidding process, but FIFA has promised to address these issues. The 2030 tournament represents a significant milestone for Moroccan football as it joins two European nations in this historic collaboration.
