FIFA on Thursday, confirmed that Argentina, Paraguay and
Uruguay will all be given automatic qualifying spots for the 2030 World Cup.
The three South American nations will host the three opening
games of the tournament.
On Wednesday, the world football’s governing body announced
that only Morocco, Portugal and Spain would automatically qualify.
But today, it has been revealed Argentina, Paraguay and
Uruguay will also be spared qualifying.
It means that in a tournament that will have already
expanded from 32 teams to 48 teams for the 2026 finals, “three of the six
places” attributed to the South American zone in 2030 will be taken, a FIFA
spokesman said.
A South American team will also have the chance to qualify
in a playoff with a team from another continent.
