Fifa announced that Spain, Portugal and Morocco will co-host the 2030 World Cup, with Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay hosting one match each.
“We are discussing with Australia,” PSSI president Erick Thohir, who is a government minister and former Inter Milan owner, was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald. This is not the first time that there is talk of the 2034 World Cup being co-hosted in South-east Asia. In 2019, 10 Asean nations, including Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, had agreed to establish a technical working group, led by Thailand, to look into the feasibility of a joint bid to host the 2034 showpiece.
When asked for comment on a possible joint bid, Football Australia referred back to a statement last week that said it wasfor the 2029 Fifa Club World Cup and/or the Fifa World Cup 2034”. It did not mention a joint bid with Indonesia last week. “We are quite strong,” he said. “I think Fifa will see that the Middle East area has been the host with Qatar last year. Japan and Korea have been hosts too. I am sure Fifa will try other countries.However, the Asian Football Confederation threw its support behind the Saudi bid for the 2034 World Cup shortly after it was announced last week.
The Guardian on Monday reported that Fifa’s relaxing of rules on the number of existing stadiums needed by bidders for 2034 also is a boon for the Saudi bid.
