Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay have launched a joint bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

The CONMEBOL Nations are aiming to bring the quadrennial tournament ‘home’ as Uruguay hosted and won the very first edition of the World Cup in 1930.


Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 in the final of the 1930 World Cup at the Montevideo’s Estadio Centenario.

CONMEBOL President Alejandro Dominguez suggested it was time to bring the event back to South America.

“There will be more World Cups, but the World Cup only turns 100 one time and it needs to come home,” Dominguez said.

Chile and Argentina also hosted the World Cup in 1962 and 1978 respectively.


The European duo of Spain and Portugal have already declared their intentions to host the 2030 World Cup.

The United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland have rescinded their decision to bid for the hosting rights of aforementioned tournament and have diverted their attention to bidding for the 2028 European Championship.

The North American trio of the United States of America,Canada and Mexico will be joint hosts of the 2026 World Cup.

Argentina have won the World Cup twice,in Argentina 78 and Mexico 86 while Uruguay have also won it twice in 1930 and 1950.

Uruguay hosted the tournament in 1930 and Brazil hosted in 1950.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is set to be held in Qatar between November 21 and December 18.

And the world cup returns..... "Home"

1930
July 13
First World Cup


On July 13, 1930, France defeats Mexico 4-1 and the United States defeats Belgium 3-0 in the first-ever World Cup football matches, played simultaneously in host city Montevideo, Uruguay. The World Cup has since become the world’s most watched sporting event.

After football (soccer, to Americans) was dropped from the program for the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, FIFA President Jules Rimet helped to organize an international tournament in 1930. Much to the dismay of European footballers, Uruguay, winner of back-to-back gold medals at the 1924 Paris Olympics and 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, was chosen to host the inaugural World Cup.

Due to depression in Europe, many European players, afraid their day jobs would not exist when they returned, were either unable or unwilling to attend the tournament. As a result, some of the most accomplished European teams, including three-time Olympic gold medalist England and football enthusiasts Italy, Spain, Germany and Holland did not make an appearance at the first World Cup. However, when Uruguay agreed to help pay traveling expenses, Rimet was able to convince Belgium, France, Romania and Yugoslavia to make the trip. In Romania, King Carol selected the team members himself, gave them a three-month vacation from their jobs and guaranteed the players would be employed when they returned.

Going into the tournament, Uruguay and Argentina were the overwhelming favorites, while France and the United States also fielded competitive sides. In the first round, France’s Lucien Laurent scored the first-ever World Cup goal. In its second game, France lost to Argentina 1-0 amid controversy over the referees ending the game six minutes early. Once the problem was discovered, the referees had to bring the Argentine players back onto the field to play the final minutes. After beating Belgium, the United States beat Paraguay to set up a semi-final match with Argentina, which they lost 6-1. Still, the semi-final placement was the best U.S. World Cup finish to date.

In the first World Cup final, held on July 30, 1930, 93,000 spectators looked on as Uruguay defeated Argentina 4–2 in a rematch of the 1928 Olympic gold medal game. Uruguay went on to win its second World Cup in 1950 with a 2-1 win over Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.

The South Americans should chill. Brazil hosted in 2014. It would only be fair to bring it to Africa in 2030.

I pray they get it, I like it better wen two or more countries host the world cup, we get to see different type of cities and culture..

Russia hosted 2018. ......for Europe
Qatar is hosting 2022...... For Asia

the United States, Mexico and Canada, to host 2026..... For North America


So it will make sense to go South America for 2030

Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay .....especially its 100 year after the first world cup was played in Uruguay 1930

Exactly but then S.A hosted in 2010, Brazil in 2014. Africa has to host first before South America.

I wonder why Morocco are not bidding. They tried to host 2026 but failed. I figured they would try again.
