The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) officially announced that it granted Morocco the rights to host the 2030 World Cup, jointly with Spain and Portugal, at an extraordinary congressional meeting today, Wednesday.

After many unsuccessful attempts, Morocco will finally host the World Cup, thus becoming the second Arab country to host the global finals after Qatar 2022, while Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 edition.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the start of the World Cup, the 2030 edition will be the first ever in 3 different continents (Africa, Europe and South America).

It is expected that most of the matches will be held in Morocco, Spain and Portugal, with 3 matches being held in Argentina, Paraguay, as well as Uruguay, which hosted the first edition in 1930.

Spain previously hosted the 1982 World Cup finals.
