The candidacy of Spain, Portugal and Morocco has been chosen to organize the 2030 Soccer World Cup, although Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, which completed the rival proposal to host the tournament, will host the opening matches of the event, according to the Council of FIFA held this Wednesday.
In this way, Spain will once again host a soccer World Cup 48 years later, together with its Iberian and African neighbors.
