According to an announcement by the International Football Federation (FIFA) on the evening of October 4th, the 2030 World Cup will be held in six countries across three continents.
The Argentina team is the reigning World Cup champion.
These countries include: Portugal, Spain (Europe), Morocco (Africa), Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay (South America).
Accordingly, all six of the aforementioned countries are automatically guaranteed a ticket to the 2030 World Cup without needing to go through the qualifying rounds.
The three opening matches of the biggest football event on the planet in 2030 will be held in South American countries to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup.
Specifically, in the first tournament held in 1930, Uruguay was the host nation, Argentina was the runner-up, and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) was based in Paraguay.
After three matches in South America, the teams will travel to Africa and Europe to play the remaining matches of the 2030 World Cup.
The final of the 2030 tournament is expected to be held at Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium (Spain).
Notably, this is also the first time Morocco has hosted a World Cup. Previously, they had bid to host the tournament five times but were unsuccessful.
The 2030 World Cup will be the first time a World Cup is held in six separate countries.
Meanwhile, the 2026 tournament also saw more than two countries hosting the biggest football event on the planet (Canada, Mexico, and the United States).
