Fifa’s 6-country 2030 World Cup at odds with climate strategy

The football governing body previously committed to a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.

Fifa awarded the 2030 World Cup to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco but also said Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay would host three matches.

It is a stark contrast to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar which had only 32 teams while all 64 matches were played in eight stadiums in and around Doha. Fifa said they will take all required measures to mitigate the environmental impact of the World Cup, adding that 97% of the 2030 tournament will be held in three countries that share a border or are separated by a few kilometres.

“The first reason is that in such big tournaments, with people coming from all over the world, most emissions are from flights. This is something Fifa cannot reduce,” Cuendet said.
