After the World Cup in North America, the novelty that may exist in 2030

Recently, one of the news stories that had a worldwide impact on football had the 2030 World Cup as its main topic. FIFA announced that “the World Cup will return to where it all began.” In this way, 100 years after the first World Cup, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay will play their inaugural match at home. After the first match, the rest of the competition will take place in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, which includes a peculiar organization of the most important football tournament.

Lionel Scaloni referred to the issue in the press conference prior to the third date of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in North America. The Argentine National Team faced its counterpart from Paraguay, but, regarding the 2030 World Cup, he said: "In At the beginning, it is a joy for everyone that Argentina can play a World Cup match in their country, that is a huge joy for everyone, a satisfaction. Having been able to achieve that seems like a great achievement to me. From there, we cannot be thinking about the 2030, honestly. We still have the classification for the upcoming World Cup and from there we will see," commented D.T.

Although Scaloni said that there was no need to think about 2030, he was asked if he saw himself directing the National Team in 7 years. "The Argentine National Team is in continuous evolution, in continuous growth, we must not sleep and there will be those who are better at that moment. If I am there it will also be based on the results, as always. It is a huge pride to lead a match of a World Cup in your country, the joy would be enormous," commented the coach.

The search for more matches

Not satisfied with 3 games in the region, Conmebol will seek to make them even more. The person in charge of confirming it was Matías Lammens, former president of San Lorenzo and currently head of the Ministry of Sports and Tourism of Argentina. "We are going to try, and we spoke with President Domínguez of Conmebol, to have more games, to be able to have not only more events, but more participation in the World Cup, but in principle these three games represent a great opportunity," the minister said.
