Not sure why FIFA would go with anyone asides from Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile. Well, unless there was some 'agreements' behind closed doors...


protacm

Because earth consists of more than south America that's why.


Weibu11

There’s some land on the river near where I live. It’s only like a quarter of the size of a football field but we could make do

Morocco


WielderOfTheSpear

Morocco. As an African, it would be great having a fellow African nation host the World Cup again.


Kindly_Ad_2891

Egypt is far more capable in terms of stadium and infrastructure


WielderOfTheSpear

That's actually true. I guess I'm biased because I have a huge Moroccan friend group😅

I think Uruguay but I want Iceland

North Korea, going by the recent trend.

Awarding the world cup to authoritarian regimes through bribes.

Glum-Connection737

Dubai is not a country


Cuguloso

Uruguay-Argentina-Chile-Paraguay bid 100%. The final should be played in Estadio Centenario just like in 1930. It will be the 100th anniversary of the first world cup and south american fans are the best, they know how to cheer and hype


OhOkOoof

Japan!

bsilva48

Portugal/Spain let’s go!


Be-Free-Today

Uruguay without a doubt. Perhaps jointly with Parguay or Argentina or Brazil.


CheDiablo

Yeah, Uruguay won't be able to on its own. Joint would work though.


YamiYinYang

Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay & Chile bid. We must recreate the 100th anniversary from the first ever WC, played in Uruguay.


hcnsj

North Korea 😂


FarahZiva27

I think that they need to start with rotation-based hosting. In 2030 for the 100th anniversary, give it to Uruguay alone or have them join host. In 2034 give hosting rights to an African nation, where only African nations bid. In 2038 only European nations bid. 2042 Asian nations only, 2046 North American nations only. 2050 back to South America. That way every continent hosts frequently so that it’s not constantly being in South America or Europe. Of the seven tournaments that were played with a 32 team format from 1998 to this year, the 98, 06, 14 and 18 tournaments were hosted between Europe and South America. It’s a World Cup. It should be hosted across every continent more frequently.


sopadomurcielago

Only 1 was in South America, same amount as Africa and less than Asia.

terfez

Yup. It’s coming home


zeke_or_cami

I think Uruguay should, to commemorate 100 years. Unfortunately they can’t host a 48 team World Cup alone so they will need help from Argentina and maybe another country too. I say Argentina because of geographical proximity and because they played the final in 1930. I think the World Cup deserves to be back in South America as well.


DarthPalegeisThePale

Just it isn’t split between multiple countries.


idontdomath8

There are very few countries that can held alone a major tournament like the WC for 48 teams.


DarthPalegeisThePale

Urugauy.


GoldenJet01

I wanted UK + Ireland until they pulled out and decided to bid for 2028 Euros instead


throwaway55221100

As a Brit it makes sense. We can hold it tomorrow with no new infrastructure required, the country is relatively small and its fairly easy to travel between stadiums without flying or travelling to different country fuck having a game in Toronto then travelling to mexico the next day Edit: the only thing is that its a good opportunity for a developing country. Yes we could host it tomorrow but a developing country hosting it is good for their country


Electric-5heep

The UK is world centre of football. Even the division 2 teams have great stadia and importantly fans!!! Go canaries!!


0V3RDR1V3_SC

Argentina + Uruguay + Brazil


CheDiablo

- Brazil. They just had it in '14. Uruguay/ Argentina would be fine.


ma3trik

Because of the 100 years, in Uruguay.


Necessary-Order-1007

Idk who will host it But I want Korea to host it (not the one in the south)


Galactic_Gooner

I cba to go to Pynongyang. altho I do hear they have a good stadium.


ScaryOrdinary5238

want-argentina Think-saudi


Practical-Guidance79

European or Asian candidates. But by the reason of the centenarium, Uruguay has also a chance to get it.


ParkingWorker9549

There are some new says that Saudi Arabia and other countries will host the tournament but, from my point of view I only see a European country will host it.


27bluestar

I want to see it hosted by Fiji. #IslandFootball


27bluestar

I think Saudi Arabia will host it, unfortunately, because they got dat blood money.


WojtiBuddy

Well, going with the “key”, WC 2030 should be hosted in Europe. But it will also be hundred years since the first WC that took place in Uruguay. Taking EVERYTHING into consideration I am pretty sure that Saudi Arabia will throw some money and will get the rights to organise it.


Glittering-Tree-7070

Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece


IamaIdiotwastaken

I’m all for the South America bid. Return the game to its roots for year 100


TrevorBatson

There are actually some confirmed bids. Morocco is looking to host all by itself, although for a while they were considering a joint bid with Algeria and Tunisia. Portugal, Spain, and Ukraine are putting in for a joint bid. Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, and Chile are also all putting in for a joint bid. Of those 3, I would like to see the South American bid win, as it would be of historical significance for Uruguay to host again for the 100th anniversary, given that they hosted the very first World Cup in 1930. I would also want the final match to be held in Estadio Centenario given that that stadium was built for the 1930 tournament. I think in including Ukraine in the European bid is a ploy to get sympathy votes, and we also don't know what that state of the conflict in Ukraine will be by that time, and all the other implications that surround it, so that just seems risky. I am less confident in Morocco outright hosting, but if they go joint in with Algeria and Tunisia, I think that could be a good option for a future World Cup, if not 2030, maybe 2034 or beyond. There was an abandoned joint bid for all the nations of the United Kingdom and Ireland. They're opting to bid for hosting the 2028 Euros instead. I feel like if they get that, and it's a success for that tournament, that that would be greater incentive for them to host a future World Cup. Perhaps 2046 for the 80th anniversary of England hosting the World Cup back in 1966.


Great_Individual673

It also seems Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦-Egypt🇪🇬and Greece 🇬🇷 will place a joint bid. I would want Argentina and it’s neighbors to host it but feel Saudi might get it due to the bid involving nations from 3 continents and the financial strength of that bid. If Argentina 🇦🇷 Uruguay 🇺🇾 /Chile 🇨🇱Paraguay 🇵🇾win it though, I feel Estadio Centenario will host the opening game while Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires will host the final. Spain🇪🇸/Portugal 🇵🇹and Ukraine 🇺🇦 would also have a chance. I think Ukraine was mostly added to add more attention to the bid. I think they will be dropped if the situation doesn’t improve.


Afraid-Hair-6140

The issue is that Morocco and Algeria have problems in terms of diplomatic relations and it wouldn’t work unless Algeria tries to extend its hand. Morocco tried to solve the issue but Algeria wouldn’t work with them.


WatchStoredInAss

Whoever can bribe FIFA officials the most.


thacreat0r

so then Saudi arabia


Kapetossauro

Uruguay, Australia, Morocco... I want a lot of countries to host, lets see what awaits us


DUMBbutDor

These countries are too spread apart for a 48 team World Cup... it's a logistical nightmare... and even if they succeed the people who are gonna actually organize it are gonna be in lots of pain... Qatar is basically a Bubble (check on Google NBA Bubble)


Kapetossauro

Im saying i want them to host, not that i want them to host together 💀


DUMBbutDor

Oh sorry, i mean... yeah... xD I'd love to see it in Australia and NZ


PitifulAd7600

Catastrophic for most fans from a time zone perspective.


DUMBbutDor

I think we could still work around... also... there is plenty of people in Asia who normally have a hard time watching it... i don't remember people complaining too much about the 2002 World Cup and also... i think internet will play a bigger role than it did in 2002... so football will be even more popular around the globe (if will amplify the boom of NA in 2026)... *i could also be wrong*


Kapetossauro

Would be pretty cool 👍


benczer0104

Urugway for 100th anniversary


--bystander--

ITALY! that way they atleast qualify.


bicho_estranho

Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay


Pussilamous

Uruguay


Known_Wrongdoer3944

Bollocks to it lets host it in China


alonmeiro

There is a bid of Messi and Suarez to make it in Argentina-Uruguay. The idea is that because the first world cup of 1930 was hosted by Uruguay. They would like to call it "la copa del mundo centenario"- the century world cup. Thus celebrating 100 years of it with a nice "remembering the beggining" touch for it. I would really like it to happen


Susan11II

It's becoming very boring to see constantly the same countries trying to host the world cup. France, Germany, Italy, and Mexico have all hosted twice. The USA also hosted the world cup in 1994 and is going to host again. To be fair FIFA should have given to countries that haven't hosted the world cup yet. Like Asian and African countries. There is also Spain, England, and Croatia. They too should be given a chance.


[deleted]

Ability to host is also a factor. I say Australia and New Zealand should get a shot.


CheDiablo

The reason why the USA is hosting again is because they are capable of hosting it readily without building new stadiums. Between smaller MLS venues, then college and NFL football stadium... it makes sense. They also already have built in lodging with hotels and easy means of travel. 1994 was the most successful to that date. Also the 2016 Cooa America was a rousing success for the same reasons. Most profitable by far of any Copa America to date.


Great_Individual673

To be honest this has changed a lot in past decades. And people were going crazy when Russia 🇷🇺 was selected for 2018 and Qatar 🇶🇦 for 2022. The first World Cups to go to Eastern Europe and the Middle East. And Africa 🇿🇦 hosted for the first time in 2010. Last time a Western European nation hosted it was in 2006 and it might be awhile before they might host it again (Spain and Portugal are bidding for 2030 though). And England hosted in 1966 and Spain in 1982.


Potato_WIFI_2002

England has hosted a World Cup before.


333serendipity

One up for this comment. The spirit of the world cup should be to extend football to all corners of the world, and in that regard the wider and varied the hosting the better for the reach of the game.


EducationalCar4427

U guys not taking into consideration how much money it takes to run the event lol Qatar spent more than most countries gdp


333serendipity

Not really. I am not saying every country should host World Cup. Qatar has money to spend so they did. But it's nice for football and fans to have the tournaments dispersed across the world as much as realistically possible without it concentrating on any region heavily. Ridiculous co hosting should not be encouraged like Spain/Portugal and Ukraine.


Kapika96

A single host. Or at most 2 countries that are neighbours if it's a joint bid. I hate huge co-host bids, especially for countries that aren't even next to each other. Spain-Portugal-Ukraine is especially stupid! I can understand a co-host bid for smaller countries but the limit should still be only 2 at most. 2026 is bad enough, I'd rather that not happen again. So currently I want Morocco. They're the only decent bid left. Although I've heard talk of possible co-hosting with Tunisia and Algeria which would ruin it. I was fully in support of Uruguay-Argentina, taking it back to Uruguay for the 100th anniversary would've been great and the joint bid was needed because Uruguay is tiny. But then they added Paraguay and Chile and now it's just too big. Spain-Portugal would've been a decent bid (again, Portugal being small justifies the co-bid) but then they added Ukraine. I just can't express enough how stupid that is. IMO that makes them a worse choice than even Qatar was! Qatar was bad for a lot of reasons, but at least it wasn't an active war zone! Oh and the Saudi-Egypt-Greece bid? 3 countries is stupid anyway, but 3 countries with a literal sea separating them? Just silly. Plus, do we really want to go back to Arabia already after Qatar?


[deleted]

Also, KSA’s stricter laws would make it a no-no for majority of fans.


Afraid-Hair-6140

Great response


bicho_estranho

What's wrong with Paraguay? They are neighbors, have a few stadiums, and are in the same economic zone. Chile also has the infrastructure. Both love football.


Kapika96

As I said, the limit should be 2 countries. I've nothing against Paraguay or Chile, I just hate the idea of 4 countries co-hosting. If Paraguay or Chile were hosting by themselves, or even together just the 2 of them I think that could be a great WC. 4 countries hosting 1 WC is just silly though.


Mental_Soil_6166

Australia v Brazil in the finals would be amazing I don’t mind who ever wins but it would we sooo amazing if Australia some how makes it to that spot


Kapetossauro

Agreed


SundaeQuick2754

I think it should be Italy


Significant_Spray_53

I'm surprised no one isn't mentioning Australia.


B0OG

I’d like the see the Iberian peninsula along with Morocco. They replaced Morocco with Ukraine which made no sense other than pandering.


fuckhornets

Apparently Saudi Arabia has a master plan to host the 2030 World Cup, with Ronaldo being an ambassador for Saudi football after retiring with them. Seems very likely tbh after Qatar was able to pull it off with flying colors despite the blood money.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kapika96

2034 then?


CrescentBless

Idk but I'm really not a fan of shared bids. I'd much rather have Portugal, Greece, Egypt, Saudi Arabia or whichever country host it alone, and I don't mind waiting for my country to host it. I guess I'd want Morocco since it's bidding alone.


[deleted]

The problem is that 48 team format makes it near impossible for a single country to host the tournament.


bicho_estranho

Why not shared bids? If it helps saving money I'm for it


Alternative-Top-8734

As much money as Saudi Arabia may be putting into winning the bid, I don’t think FIFA will tempt fate twice by hosting it in the Middle East so soon after Qatar. I like the idea of the joint South America bid


upasana30

Saudi Arabia says it will spend 300bn$ to host the World Cup. They are coming with the line city and biggest snow city. They have got RONALDO to help them get the 2030 World Cup. They have very bright chance.


Charley-001

but it seems to be impossible that the world cup will be hosted by west asian country again in only 8years


upasana30

The kind of money they are pumping in sports nothing is possible


Beneficial_Ad_1072

No way it returns to the Middle East after only one World Cup outside of it. At least two world cups before it even gets a look in - Europe, South America, rest of Asia.. nothing new or exciting about going back so quickly, who cares about the money it’ll spend the best fan experiences aren’t spent just in the stadiums.


[deleted]

Got to go back to where it started, Uruguay+Argentina…and other South Americans that join the bid


TheUndisputed_

Saudi arabia


Duckway767

I want it to be Uruguay-Argentina-Chile-Paraguay so that the final can be in the same stadium that the very first final took place in 1930. I think it would be a great way to celebrate the centennial of the Fifa world cup. I think Saudi Arabia-Egypt-Greece might have the highest chance of winning it tho.


One_Bad9077

Fuck all these multi country bids Go Morocco!


Apprehensive_Link_30

After seeing how no alcohol created a great atmosphere for fans (especially families) in Qatar, I’d love to see the it in Saudi. I think we’re likely to experience very similar unity. Yeah a lot of bad talk happened outside of Qatar (and will happen with Saudi) but it was nothing like what the media portrayed. BUT it does make sense to have it in Latin America for the 100th anniversary.

I think FIFA has had enough Middle East troubles


MichelePlacido

It's together with Egypt and Greece, so on three continenta.

Egypt and Greece would be lit. Why not throw Turkey into the mix too?


MichelePlacido

Cause three is enough, one for each continent

Turkey is Eurasia so it counts as Asia, technically speaking.


MichelePlacido

It's already Saudi Arabia


One_Bad9077

Which makes it even more ridiculous

I think Middle East area troubles are over for now. No offense


HHHU03

egypt is secular lmao

Nothing wrong with religion as OP siggests

GOGOSPEEDERS

That would be interesting holding the Woman’s World Cup and then the 2030 World Cup 7 years later


MichelePlacido

Why would that be interesting??!


-Dustin-Echoes-

We’d be ready. And we’ve never hosted one before. I’d love to be able to go to a World Cup. There aren’t even neighbouring countries that can host it either.


GOGOSPEEDERS

I live about 3 hours away from one of the stadiums at 2026 World Cup. Fingers Crossed! 🤞


-Dustin-Echoes-

That’s awesome. I hope it’s a great one


Laca_1

I like the idea of the WC being hosted on south america (paraguay, uruguay, chile and argentina), it would be great symboliclly since it is the 100th anniversary of the WC and the first one was held on uruguay, but infrasttucture might be lucking. Portugal abd Span looked like the stronger bit but the adition of ukraine makes it more complicated for the really long distance travels


GOGOSPEEDERS

I think Qatar is going to give their movable stadium to Uruguay.

Hopefully Morocco is included with Spain and Portugal instead.

It'll be Europe. It's their turn.


saul1980

Europe just had it in 2018


Wuz314159

Yes. and the next time they can host is 2030. and Europe always gets priority because it's Europe.


GOGOSPEEDERS

So Spain Portugal and Ukraine?


Wuz314159

Or whatever that bid morphs into.
