2030: THE CENTENARY WORLD CUP
CELEBRATING A FULL CENTURY OF FOOTBALL'S BIGGEST PARTY
The very first World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930, and exactly one hundred years later the 2030 tournament will mark that anniversary in a truly special way. Most of the matches will be played across Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, but to honour football's history, the opening ceremonial matches will be held in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay, the same part of the world where the very first tournament took place. This plan means the 2030 World Cup will be hosted across three different continents, South America, Europe, and Africa, making it the most widely spread World Cup ever staged. Fans, players, and broadcasters around the world are already calling it one of the most ambitious tournaments in football history, a fitting way to celebrate one hundred years of the game's greatest stage.
