In fact, at the press conference he announced some details of the tournament that is planned to be organized for the centenary of the World Cup. In fact, Argentina will debut as a local.
According to the information that was released in the last few hours, AArgentina will make its debut in the 2030 World Cup as a home team. The Uruguayan team will also do so in the Centennial and Paraguay will also make its debut in its homeland. But nevertheless there is another piece of news that generated an extremely important rejection on social networks.
In fact, in Argentina Only one match in the group stage will be played because the rest of the tournament will be played in 5 more countries. Given this, a strong rejection was generated given that the South American National Teams will only play the first match at home. Then they will have to move to Europe to play the rest of the World Cup.
What are the other locations besides Argentina?
On the one hand it is true that Argentina along with Paraguay and Uruguay, they will play their inaugural matches at home. But in addition to these three countries, most of the 2030 World Cup will be played in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. For this reason, it generated a lot of rejection since it will take longer than usual.
For this world cup the number of teams will also be expanded. Starting in 2026 there will be 48 qualified teams. Although the confirmation of the venues will be known in the first months of 2024. But the idea is that it will be a World Cup with a well-marked characteristic. The first of them is that it is a tournament with 6 venues.
