Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

Not open for further replies.

FIFA World Cup 2030 to be staged over 3 Continents.

Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay to host opening 3 games before the tournament goes to main host Spain, Morocco and a Portugal.

Tell me football isn’t broken?

All set up nicely for Saudi Arabia to host the World Cup in 2034. Crackers.
Just came in to post that. Proper mad. 6 host countries all qualifying automatically lol
 
Are they all qualifying automatically too?

Blimey.

Do they even need South American qualifying? Do they all just get in? lol
Yeah according to the Guardian there will be one match each in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay and those countries will qualify automatically. It sounds a bit bonkers and like you say above it sounds like an attempt to appease Conmebol while giving 2034 to Saudi Arabia
 
There should be one host. I remember Euro 96 and the atmosphere across the country was magic. Even having two co hosts waters it down but to have 6 is terrible. Garbage decision.
 

I get three host in South America, I even get the euro/Africa bid with Spain, Portugal and Morocco due to geography and would be fine with either as all football countries.

But two continents and 6 countries?!?!?!?

Sorry that’s just bonkers and unfair on travelling fans

Absolutely ludicrous decision which has been taken for the most obviously grim reason. Wonder how much the Saudis bunged FIFA and the South America teams to accept this.
