heywoodu 13,614 Posted October 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) So ridiculous it's almost beautiful, the 2030 World Cup will be played in 3.....continents https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/organisation/fifa-council/media-releases/fifa-council-takes-key-decisions-on-fifa-world-cup-tm-editions-in-2030-and-2034 Can't wait for another tournament that doesn't really feel like a tournament at all, like the random collection of matches that was 'Euro 2020' Obviously all 6 host nations will qualify automatically. I guess that's fine, because presumably by then we'll have 128 teams in the World Cup? Edited October 4, 2023 by heywoodu Roamingrover86 and Josh 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

They completely missed the momentum to make it the prefect Trans Atlantic affair by hosting the final on a floating stadium located on longitude and latitude zero Olympian1010, orangeman, thepharoah and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also means that only teams from Asia (and Oceania) will be allowed to bid for 2034. or will probably host next. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,319 Posted October 4, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I assume PAR/ARG/URU means 3 automatical free host places, so how will be the Conmebol qualifier this time organized ? I guess we will finally return to the qualifying groups like in the pre 1998 era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 755 Posted October 4, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2023 48 teams in 2030 so still 42 to qualify. May not been many chances at all to South American qualifying. One group and the top half getting in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,618 Posted October 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Ridiculous nonsense. Good luck to teams having to travel between CONTINENTS after group stage when there's literally 4-5 days before the knockout phase. Jet lag will kill them. Expect a complete shitshow in that tournament. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to teams having to travel between CONTINENTS after group stage when there's literally 4-5 days before the knockout phase. Jet lag will kill them. Expect a complete shitshow in that tournament. There will only be three matches held in South America. If they’re all in the group stage, it shouldn’t be too big a logistical nightmare. Quote “Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay - 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’s mythical Estádio Centenário, precisely to celebrate the centenary edition of the FIFA World Cup.” - Infantino It’s still kind of dumb, but maybe not batshit crazy “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
