Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay announce their joint bid for the 2030 World Cup

Four South American countries have announced their joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup. At the AFA offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay held a press conference by the presidents of their football associations, announcing the bid for the first meeting of the sport 100 years after the first.

The “most recent” World Cup was in 1930 in Montevideo, Uruguay, which won the cup by beating Argentina in the final. Chile and Paraguay were two more of the 13 countries that took part in this tournament and have therefore been included in the nomination to be presented to FIFA.

Uruguay could not support the project financially and so asked other South American countries for help for the 2030 event. Brazil could not contribute due to the 2014 event it took over and was therefore excluded.

FIFA will decide at its 74th Congress in 2024, two years before the next World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

This is also an inhibiting factor in the selection of the South American folder immediately after the organization in North and Central America. There is also another file to be filed, allegedly involving Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece.
