12 Jul
Summary
- The 2030 World Cup will be hosted across three continents and six nations.
- Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay will each host one match, honoring the first World Cup.
- The tournament will kick off in South America before moving to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be an unprecedented global event, hosted across three continents: South America, Europe, and Africa. Six nations will share hosting duties, with Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay each staging one match. This arrangement pays homage to the inaugural FIFA World Cup, which Uruguay hosted and won in 1930.
Following these centenary matches, the tournament will move to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. As co-hosts, these six nations have automatically qualified for the competition. The remaining teams will secure their spots through regional qualifying matches scheduled between 2027 and 2029.
FIFA has confirmed special scheduling for the teams commencing in South America, granting them extended rest periods before their second group games. The opening matches for Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay are slated for June 8 and 9, 2030, with the official opening ceremony and first matches of the wider tournament on June 13 and 14, 2030. The final is scheduled for July 21, 2030, though the host country has yet to be determined.
