NewzFIFA has announced that the 2030 World Cup will open with matches in three South American nations—Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay—to commemorate the tournament's centenary. The remainder of the competition will be held in Morocco, Portugal, and Spain. This arrangement marks the first time the tournament will be hosted across three continents.
Despite the inclusion of South America in the opening ceremonies, the region has expressed reservations regarding its limited role in the event. Concerns persist among stakeholders regarding the logistical and symbolic implications of hosting only a small portion of the tournament rather than a full-scale regional bid.
