Telesur: 2030 FIFA World Cup Welcomes First Six Confirmed Nations! (23.7.2026)

The three European hosts -Spain, Portugal and Morocco- will serve as principal organizers of the event, following the co-hosting model applied in the 2026 North American edition. This marks the first World Cup to be held across two confederations simultaneously, and the first in Africa since South Africa 2010.

Morocco will host the tournament for the first time, becoming the second African nation to organize a World Cup. Portugal also debuts as a host country. Spain, meanwhile, returns as organizer after the 1982 edition.

The South American leg pays tribute to the 100-year anniversary of the inaugural World Cup. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay will host one match each at historic venues: the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo -site of the 1930 final-and the Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb Stadium in Asunción. These three matches will kick off the respective group stage campaigns of each national team before the competition moves entirely to the European and African main venues.
