FIFA World Cup 2030 marks 100 years. Spain, Morocco, Portugal to host

The final and most important 2026 World Cup match has commenced Sunday, July 19, at MetLife Stadium, as Spain and Argentina go head-to-head in hopes of winning it all.

Argentina is fighting for its fourth title — previously winning in 1978, 1986, and in 2022, against Kylian Mbappé and France. Spain men's national team won the title back in 2010, and its women's team recently won in 2023.

The soccer tournament, which occurs every four years, returns in June 2030, celebrating its centennial milestone.

2030 world cup stadium locations

CONMEBOL President Paraguayan Alejandro Dominguez holds a replica of the FIFA World Cup as he celebrates the ratification of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay as host countries of the FIFA 2030 World Cup during the FIFA virtual Congress in Luque, Paraguay, on December 11, 2024. A virtual Congress of world football's governing body confirmed that Morocco, Spain and Portugal will be joint hosts of the 2030 World Cup, which will also see three games played in South America. The 2030 tournament will mark a century since the first World Cup was held in Uruguay, and as a result the unrivaled joint bid by Morocco, Spain and Portugal will also see the South American nation handed one game along with Argentina and Paraguay.

The Spain-Portugal-Morocco World Cup will be the second in a row co-hosted by three countries after the USA-Canada-Mexico 2026 tournament became the first to do so. For the 2030 tournament, all six hosts – including Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay – automatically qualify.

Host cities and stadiums have not been officially finalized yet, but the current list of proposed venues include:

  • Morocco (six stadiums)
