Here's who will host the centennial FIFA World Cup in 2030 in historic 6 nation setup
The tournament will feature 48 teams and 104 matches, with all six hosts automatically qualified, FIFA said.
- FIFA confirmed the 2030 World Cup will span six nations across three continents, featuring 48 teams in 104 matches from June 8 to July 11, 2030. This marks the first time the tournament will be held across South America, Europe, and Africa simultaneously.
- This unique hosting arrangement celebrates 100 years since the inaugural 1930 World Cup held in Uruguay. To honor the centenary, Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay will stage opening fixtures before the tournament moves to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco for the main competition.
- Morocco is building the 115,000-seat Grand Stade Hassan II outside Casablanca, making it the tournament's largest venue. Teams playing in South America will receive 11 or 12 days of rest before traveling to Europe or Africa for their second matches.
- All six host nations have automatically qualified for the 48-team tournament. Because the 2030 edition spans Europe, Africa, and South America, FIFA restricted 2034 World Cup bidding to Asia and Oceania, awarding those rights to Saudi Arabia.
- FIFA President Gianni Infantino is examining whether to expand the tournament to 64 teams after assessing the 2026 edition. The final venue remains undecided, with Spain's Santiago Bernabeu and Morocco's Grand Stade Hassan II as candidates before the December 2026 deadline.
