Fifa has announced that Spain, Portugal and Morocco will co-host the 2030 men's football World Cup - with the first three matches taking place in South America to mark the tournament's 100th anniversary.

FIFA named the hosts for the 2030 and 2034 World Cups on Wednesday with Spain, Portugal and Morocco getting the former edition and Saudi Arabia controversially landing the latter. There is minimal surprise at the outcome given that the two decisions have been considered a foregone conclusion since there was only one single candidate for each event.

FIFA confirmed that the 2034 World Cup will be hosted by Saudi Arabia while the 2030 World Cup, the 100th edition of the tournament, will be co-hosted by Morocco, Portugal and Spain. Both bids were uncontested and approved during a virtual FIFA Congress on Wednesday.
