Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile launch bid for 2030 World Cup

With the full support of Conmebol (Continental Federation of South American National Football Associations), Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile officially make their joint candidacy to host the World Cup 100 years after its first edition.

The AFA building in Ezeiza is once again spruced up to host the official presentation of the bid.

The “Asociación del Fútbol Argentino” (AFA) is the official soccer association of Argentina and was founded in 1893 as the Argentine “Association Football League”.

Alejandro Domínguez, president of Conmebol, is one of the main promoters and supporters of this World Cup project, which aims to celebrate the first centenary of the World Cup.

In 1930, the first World Cup was held in Uruguay, and 100 years later, the South American Football Federation president wants to pay tribute to the sport with another World Cup on South American soil, where it all began.

WHICH COUNTRIES COMPETE WITH ARGENTINA, URUGUAY, PARAGUAY, AND CHILE TO HOST THE 2030 FIFA WORLD CUP?

Competition for the South American quartet will be fierce, as the Spanish-Portuguese bid has stepped up to the plate and announced its intention to add Ukraine to its bid.

In addition to this trident, there is more competition.

Although there is no official confirmation, Greece, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia could form another group looking to host the next World Cup after USA-Canada-Mexico in 2026.
