Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay to Officially Announce Joint Bid for 2030 World Cup
Today, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will officially announce their joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup, marking the hundredth anniversary of the first World Cup in history. This was confirmed by high-ranking officials to Clarín.
The announcement will be made after the lunch that the presidents Mauricio Macri, Horacio Cartes (Paraguay), and Tabaré Vázquez (Uruguay) are currently sharing with the FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, and the President of CONMEBOL, Alejandro Domínguez.

Following that meeting in the Salón de los Científicos at Casa Rosada, the three heads of state will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. to present the candidacy. Infantino will not be present at the announcement as he has already announced "that he has to leave," according to sources from the Presidency.
Prior to visiting Balcarce 50, Infantino met with the President of AFA, Claudio Tapia, and Daniel Angelici, President of Boca Juniors and friend of Macri.

According to reports from Clarín, the plan is for Argentina to propose eight hosting cities, while Paraguay and Uruguay will each propose two. Initially, the project would include Argentina as the host of both the opening match and the final. However, this has not been finalized, according to government sources.
Argentina's proposed host cities would include River Plate Stadium, Boca Juniors' Stadium, and La Plata's Estadio Único. Other stadiums in Córdoba, Rosario, and Mendoza are also being considered.
