2030 World Cup Co-hosts Spain, Portugal, Morocco Await 64-Team Decision

Spain, Portugal and Morocco have been announced as the co‑hosts for the 2030 edition of the FIFA World Cup. The three nations will share the responsibility of staging the tournament across a network of stadiums that span the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, marking the first time the competition will be hosted by three countries simultaneously.

While the host trio has been confirmed, FIFA has not yet settled on the tournament’s format. The governing body is weighing whether to expand the competition to 48 teams, as it did in 2026, or to retain the traditional 64‑team structure. The decision will be announced in the coming months and will determine the number of matches, venues and qualification pathways for the participating nations.

Once the format is finalized, the co‑host countries will move forward with detailed preparations, including infrastructure upgrades, security arrangements and logistical coordination. The announcement of the team count will be a key milestone in the build‑up to the 2030 World Cup, setting the stage for the global event’s final planning stages.
