FIFA have officially confirmed that Spain, Portugal, and Morocco will co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, marking a historic moment for the global tournament. This will be the first time in World Cup history that multiple nations will come together to host the prestigious event, with Saudi Arabia securing the right to host the 2034 World Cup.
The 2030 edition will be particularly historic, as it will feature a unique six-nation event to celebrate the centenary of the inaugural World Cup, which was held in Uruguay in 1930. To honor this milestone, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will each host one match, while the remaining games will take place in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, creating a truly international experience that links the tournament's past and present.
For the 2034 World Cup, Saudi Arabia emerged as the sole candidate after receiving unanimous approval during an online FIFA meeting, which was led by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. This marks a significant moment for Saudi Arabia as they continue to invest heavily in their infrastructure and sports development to prepare for the world's largest sporting event.
Saudi Arabia's preparations for the 2034 World Cup are already underway, with massive investments in futuristic stadiums and cutting-edge facilities. One of the key highlights is a proposed 350-meter-high stadium in Neom, a city in the country's north, as well as another stadium to be built atop a cliff near Riyadh, which will offer breathtaking views and enhance the tournament's legacy.
