Uruguay reiterates interest in co-hosting 2030 World Cup 2030 with Argentina
Montevideo : Uruguay President Tabare Vazquez reiterated the country’s interest in hosting the 2030 World Cup with Argentina in meeting with Gianni Infantino, head of FIFA, football’s world governing body.
Vazquez said that he “officially (presented) the possibility of hosting the 2030 World Cup (in Uruguay and Argentina) to the FIFA president. This proposal comes from the two brother countries, their football associations and their governments. It is simply a proposal, a hope, a dream and a longing to organise this sporting event in Uruguay”, reports Xinhua news agency.
Infantino said the talk of 2030 World Cup can wait for a while.
“We have spoken of this dream, this idea and this project for the 2030 World Cup but it is still far away,” said Infantino with Vazquez at the presidential residence.
“Before, we must organise the whole process for the 2026 World Cup and make sure that it is clear and transparent, and then we will talk about 2030.”
Infantino highlighted Uruguay and Argentina’s interest as “very positive on behalf of the two countries that have made football history, and have contributed with their players”.
“Today, organising a World Cup is very big and very important. It involves a lot of work and has lots of requirements but there is a lot of time for all of this,” said Infantino, even though he avoided giving an opinion on the infrastructure that Uruguay offers.
The FIFA president arrived here on Tuesday and visited the Centenario Stadium and Penarol and Nacional’s grounds. Infantino also attended the World Cup qualifier between Uruguay and Peru.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
