Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay are set to have one match each played on their shores at the 2030 FIFA World Cup, a historic gesture marking the tournament’s centenary. This arrangement gives all three nations automatic qualification for the competition.
Softfootball understands the 2022 world champions and 2026 runners‑up, Argentina, will not have to go through a gruelling qualification campaign, as FIFA has approved six co‑hosts for the 2030 edition.
Other countries with automatic qualification include:
- Spain
- Portugal
- Morocco
These three nations will host the majority of the tournament, forming the primary base of the 2030 World Cup.
