In 2022, the Football World Cup took place in Qatar. If this decision had greatly raised eyebrows regarding ecology, the announcement which has just been made on the 2030 Football World Cup risks annoying more than one. This Wednesday, October 4, 2023, Alejandro Dominguez, the president of Conmebol, the South American football confederation, declared that the iconic football competition will be held in several countries. “The 2030 Centenary World Cup will begin where it all began. Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay will host the opening matches of the Centenary World Cup” he happily declared. And these are not the only organizing countries. In total, These are six countries which have been designated to host the famous tournament ! “In 2030, the FIFA World Cup will bring together three continents and six countries, inviting the world to join in celebrating the beautiful game, the Centenary and the FIFA World Cup itself. The FIFA Council unanimously decided that the sole bid would be from Morocco, Portugal and Spain, who will host the event in 2030 and qualify automatically from the existing slots, subject to the success of the tender procedure carried out by FIFA and a decision by the FIFA Congress in 2024″ we can read.
2030 World Cup: competition “in six countries” annoys Mr. Pokora Not enough to rejoice Internet users who immediately note that this decision will directly increase the global carbon footprint, players and supporters will have to take planes to go from one country to another… Mr. Pokora was also one of the first to express his anger. “Nice for the teams who will play in crazy heat while others don’t, those who will have to move from one continent to another as they advance in the competition… good luck to the organization to be “fair”… and eco-friendly” lamented the singer while commenting on a publication by the media Konbini on Instagram.
