FIFA Holds 75th Congress Paraguay Ahead 2030 World Cup Exhibit

Paraguay is experiencing a renewed passion for football as it prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup, marking the centenary of the first tournament. The opening of a FIFA Museum exhibit in Asuncion, featuring trophies, jerseys, and memorabilia from iconic matches, has inspired many young Paraguayans to dream of national team glory on the world stage. The exhibit coincides with FIFA's 120th anniversary and is part of a broader celebration of football's rich history in South America, further highlighted by FIFA's 75th Congress being held near Asuncion. Paraguayan children, some of whom vividly imagine their country winning the World Cup, are energized by the tangible connection to the sport's legacy. Paraguay's last World Cup appearance was in 2010, and the nation is currently positioned to qualify for the 2026 tournament. This exhibit and upcoming hosting duties underscore South America's enduring influence on global football and Paraguay's role in its future.
