2030 FIFA World Cup set for six host nations, talks of 64-team format

The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be staged across six countries on three continents. Spain, Portugal and Morocco are the main European‑African hosts, while Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay will stage opening matches to mark the tournament’s centenary. The competition is scheduled for 8 June to 21 July 2030.

CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez has urged FIFA to expand the tournament from the 48 teams used in 2026 to 64, describing the centenary edition as “an opportunity for a competition with 64 teams”. FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the proposal will be examined by the FIFA council.

Morocco, a co‑host, is investing roughly US$20 billion in infrastructure and tourism ahead of the event, adding about 60 000 hotel beds to reach more than 300 000. The government expects the World Cup to act as a catalyst for long‑term tourism growth and to generate hundreds of thousands of jobs.
