Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay joined forces this Tuesday to launch their candidacy for the World Cup 2030, which will celebrate the 100 years of this tournament that was precisely held for the first time in Uruguayan lands. Sports ministers and presidents of the four federations were present at this event.
Alejandro Domínguez, president of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) led the presentation ceremony of what was called the “World Cup Centennial”, about which he indicated that there should be no other candidates.
“This is the dream of a continent. South America understands that football has to recognize and not dispute. There are going to be more World Cups, but years come once”, Domínguez said during a press conference held at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo, “the iconic place where history began”.

It should be remembered that this is the second candidacy presents for the “Centennial World Cup”, recalling the also joint one that Spain and Portugal carried out a few months ago.
For his part, the president of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), Ignacio Alonso also took the word on the spot to highlight the importance of the fact that Uruguay is one of the countries that hosts the greatest football event in the framework of its 100 years.
“It is just the fact of organizing the World Cup, the 100 years, in the place where it all began, where they had the guts, the bravery, the courage to put things on the table”, said the president of the AUF.
