Football World Cup 2030

The final round of the 24th men's soccer world championship (officially 2030 FIFA World Cup , official German spelling “FIFA World Cup 2030” ) is to take place in 2030 . So far, neither the organizing country nor an application deadline has been set. However, several associations have already expressed their interest in hosting the sporting event. According to FIFA regulations, a World Cup may not take place twice in a row in the same continental association, so applications from the CONCACAF association are blocked for 2030, as the World Cup in 2026 will take place in Canada , Mexico and the USA .
