The FIFA Council unanimously agreed that the sole candidacy will be the combined bid of Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, which will host the event in 2030 and qualify automatically from the existing slot allocation subject to the completion of a successful bidding process conducted by FIFA and a decision by the FIFA Congress in 2024. Additionally, having taken into account the historical context of the first-ever FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Council further unanimously agreed to host a unique centenary celebration ceremony in the country\u2019s capital, Montevideo, where the first ever FIFA World Cup took place in 2030, as well as three World Cup matches in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a divided world, FIFA and football are uniting,\u201d said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. \u201cThe FIFA Council, representing the entire world of football, unanimously agreed to celebrate the centenary of the FIFA World Cup, whose first edition was played in Uruguay in 1930, in the most appropriate way. As a result, a celebration will take place in South America and three South American countries &#8211; Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay &#8211; will organise one match each of the FIFA World Cup 2030. The first of these three matches will of course be played at the stadium where it all began, in Montevideo\u2019s mythical Est\u00e1dio Centen\u00e1rio, precisely to celebrate the centenary edition of the FIFA World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FIFA Council also agreed unanimously that the only bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2030 will be the joint bid of Morocco, Portugal and Spain,&#8221; the FIFA President added. \u201cTwo continents &#8211; Africa and Europe &#8211; united not only in a celebration of football but also in providing unique social and cultural cohesion.

This is conditional on these teams playing under the name of the \u201cFootball Union of Russia\u201d rather than \u201cRussia\u201d, in the absence of their national flag, their national anthem, their national-team kit and equipment, and instead playing in neutral colours.<\/p>\n<p>The FIFA Council reiterated its condemnation of Russia\u2019s illegal war in Ukraine and confirmed that the remaining terms of the decision made on 28 February 2022 remain in force until the end of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Launch of FIFA Futsal Women\u2019s World Cup<\/em><\/strong>\u2122<\/p>\n<p>The FIFA Council confirmed that the inaugural edition of the FIFA Futsal Women\u2019s World Cup\u2122 will take place in 2025 as a stand-alone tournament with 16 participating teams.
