Source: Ukraine may host 2030 World Cup matches
Ukraine plans to submit a joint bid with Spain and Portugal to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Such a request is reportedly an initiative of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as the governments of Spain and Portugal. In the stadiums of Ukrainian cities, matches of one of the fours of the group stage of the World Cup can be held.
Allegedly, on Wednesday, October 5, at UEFA headquarters, the football leaders of Spain and Portugal will have to officially announce such an initiative.
Recall that the next World Cup will be held in Qatar in November-December this year. The next World Cup in 2026 will be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The venue of the 2030 World Cup will be announced at the 74th FIFA Congress, scheduled for 2024.
