Alejandro Domínguez, president of CONMEBOL (South American Football Federation), confirmed this Wednesday that the first games of the 2030 FIFA World Cup will take place in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. The competition would later move to Portugal, Spain and Morocco in an unprecedented scenario in history.
In a short message on social networks, the main leader of this federation wrote: “We set high goals and dreamed big. The 2030 FIFA World Cup will begin where it all began. The hosts of the first World Cup games will be Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil. Argentina”.
“There will be three opening games in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. There will be three opening games and it all starts in Uruguay. FIFA will provide more details on what will happen in Argentina and Paraguay,” can also be read on Twitter ( X ) by Alejandro Dominguez.
It should be noted that the 2030 FIFA World Cup will go down in history as it marks 100 years since it was first held. In 1930, Uruguay organized (and won) the competition.
Let us remember that the last World Cup, held last year, was held in Qatar. On this occasion, Argentina won the trophy by beating France in the final on penalties (4-2), after a three-goal draw in extra time.
In a statement, Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, which governs world football, officially confirmed and explained the decision: “In a divided world, FIFA and football fight for unity. (…) Two continents – Africa and Europe – have united not only in celebrating football, but also in promoting a unique cultural and social cohesion. What a great message of peace, tolerance By 2030, we will have a unique global presence: three continents – Africa, Europe and South America – and six countries – Argentina, Morocco, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain and Uruguay – will welcome and unite the world, celebrating ” beautiful game” and the centenary of the World Cup,” Infantino said.
