What sort of nonsense is this? Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Spain, Portugal and Morocco co-hosting?

Montevideo in Uruguay, the city which hosted the first World Cup match in 1930, is poised to stage the opening game in 2030 with matches in Argentina and Paraguay to follow.

The rest of the 48-team tournament will then move to north Africa and Europe.

The change of hemispheres means World Cup teams could find themselves playing in two different seasons at the same tournament.

And joy of joys, Saudi Arabia is aiming for 2034.
 
Hosting the next tournament over an entire continent clearly wasn’t enough.
 
It’s only the first few matches in South America to honour the centenary of the tournament

Which is even more ridiculous as it’s halfway across the world for a few games, and a different season!

Complete nonsense. The federation is still run by corrupt fools who don’t give a fuck.
 
My money is on Tahiti, Micronesia, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, Marshall Islands and Kiribati to co-host 2038.

Edit: assuming they're not underwater by then.
 
I’ve got a feeling it’ll be LIECHTENSTEIN

Can't really blame FIFA for that one. There's only one bidder.

FIFA brought the bidding process forward and then provided an incredibly tight time-frame for bids to be submitted - hence Australia not proceeding. Does feel like Saudi Arabia is something of a ringer and it was going there regardless.
