UEFA Will Support a British 2030 World Cup

Related Topics: FIFA World Cup, UEFA

It's still quite a bit aways, but there's already increasing interest in hosting the 2030 World Cup. Aleksander Cefarin, the president of UEFA, the governing football federation for the whole of Europe, just said that the confederation would back a bid from either England or a combined bid from the British Isles. This is particularly interesting because the 2030 tournament will fall on the 100th anniversary of the World Cup. Uruguay held the inaugural World Cup and it was rumored that they would co-host with Argentina. As you can imagine, a contest between Uruguay and England-led bids would be significant.
