The official announcement of this nomination will be made, on Tuesday at 16:30 GMT, at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo, where the final match was held in 1930 between Uruguay and Argentina. The joint nomination of the four countries also aims to hold the final match of the 2030 edition at the same stadium. "As we celebrate the centenary of the World Cup, he should return to his home country, South America," Alejandro Dominguez, president of the South American Football Association, CONMEBOL, wrote on Twitter. "What we must focus on is the centenary of the World Cup," Uruguayan Sports Minister Sebastian Bausa said. The four countries committed more than three years ago to establishing a local organizing committee to coordinate with the game's governing body in South America to plan its nomination. It will be the sixth edition of the World Cup to be held in South America, after 1930 (Uruguay), 1950 (Brazil), 1962 (Chile), 1978 (Argentina) and 2014 (Brazil). The South American file will face the joint nomination of Spain and Portugal, which they announced in June 2021.
