  • Spain, Portugal and Morocco will co-host the 2030 men's World Cup. BBC Sport takes a look at how the tournament will work.

The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be a unique event as it will be hosted across six countries on three continents: Spain, Portugal, and Morocco in Europe and Africa, with the opening matches taking place in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay in South America to celebrate the tournament's centennial. This marks the first time the World Cup will be co-hosted by countries from different confederations. The tournament will begin in Montevideo, Uruguay, where the first World Cup was held in 1930, and will also feature games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and AsunciĆ³n, Paraguay. The rest of the tournament will then proceed in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. This format not only commemorates the World Cup's history but also aims to reduce travel distances for teams and fans, although it introduces logistical challenges due to the geographical spread.
