FIFA 2030 World Cup World Cup matches will be played on three continents, namely Africa, Europe and South America.
In a surprise announcement on Wednesday, 04 October, a year earlier than planned, FIFA said the 2030 World Cup will be hosted by Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
The football world governing body also said Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay will host the first three matches to mark the tournament’s centenary.
FIFA said the joint bid from Morocco, Portugal and Spain was the sole candidate to host the tournament. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The FIFA Council unanimously agreed that the sole candidacy will be the combined bid of Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, which will host the event in 2030 and qualify automatically from the existing slot allocation subject to the completion of a successful bidding process conducted by FIFA and a decision by the FIFA Congress in 2024.
Additionally, having taken into account the historical context of the first-ever FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Council further unanimously agreed to host a unique centenary celebration ceremony in the country’s capital, Montevideo… as well as three World Cup matches in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay respectively.
</blockquote>
The inaugural World Cup tournament in 1930 was held in Uruguay and won by the hosts after they defeated Argentina in the final in Montevideo.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino said that FIFA and football have the power to unite people in a divided world. He added:
<blockquote>
The FIFA Council… unanimously agreed to celebrate the centenary of the FIFA World Cup, whose first edition was played in Uruguay in 1930, in the most appropriate way.
As a result, a celebration will take place in South America and three South American countries – Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay – will organise one match each of the FIFA World Cup 2030.
</blockquote>
Infantino said the first of these three matches would be played at Montevideo’s Estadio Centenario, where the first World Cup took place in 1930.
Meanwhile, Morocco will be the second African country to host the World Cup after South Africa in 2010.
Morocco are also set to host the 2025 African Cup of Nations, following the withdrawal of rival bids.
The Atlas Lions made history by becoming the first African and Arab country to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, in Qatar in 2022.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/05/im-not-a-fan-southgate-blasts-plans-for-2030-world-cup-on-three-continents">England coach Gareth Southgate said that he fears for the sporting integrity</a> after FIFA announced that the 2030 World Cup finals will be played on three continents.

FIFA 2030 World Cup Matches To Be Played In Europe, Africa And South America

Warriors midfielder Marshall Munetsi says Zimbabwe can qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after being drawn in what he considers a “decent” group for the qualifiers.
Zimbabwe were drawn in Group C alongside Nigeria, South Africa, Benin, Rwanda and Lesotho.
The nation which finished top of the group will automatically qualify for the tournament to be hosted by Mexico, Canada and the United States.
Munetsi, who plays for Stade Reims in France, and has been a vocal critic of the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) following Zimbabwe’s suspension by FIFA, was quoted by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/sport/article/200014178/munetsi-confident-of-wc-qualification">NewsDay</a> as saying:
<blockquote>
The lifting of the ban is great for the nation, it is great for the players; it is something that has been going through our minds that we are unable to represent our country over things that could be sorted out just through discussion.
I am grateful to FIFA, SRC (Sports and Recreation Commission), and the minister (Kirsty Coventry).
It is something that gives us joy as players that now we can be able to fulfill our dreams; it’s every young player’s dream to play at the World Cup.
Hopefully, now we can have the good opportunity to fight for our place. The group that we have been placed in is a decent group.
I know that we can do well with the players that have been performing even outside our country at club level.
So I just pray that we now put our heads together towards achieving this dream of going on to represent our country at the World Cup.
Now that we have the normalisation committee that is there, we just hope they can do a good job in fulfilling all the requirements of our game even for our league to put us back on the international stage.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe has several players plying their trade in Europe among them Marvelous Nakamba, Tino Kadewere, Admiral Muskwe and Jordan Zemura.

Munetsi Says Zimbabwe Can Qualify For 2026 FIFA World Cup

Former Warriors midfielder, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Alois_Bunjira/">Alois Bunjira</a>, has urged Knowledge Musona and Khama Billiat to reconsider their retirement from international football now that the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has new management. 
His remarks came after the Federation of International Football (FIFA) had lifted the suspension on Zimbabwe and appointed a four-member normalisation committee to take over the day-to-day running of ZIFA until June 2024. The committee is composed of chairperson Lincon Mutasa, Sikhumbuzo Ndebele, Rosemary Mugadza, and Nyasha Sanyamandu. Mutasa, a former Dynamos chairman, Mugadza, a former Mighty Warriors coach, Ndebele, a former Highlanders defender, and Sanyamandwe, a member of the British Sports Lawyers Association and a legal practitioner, were selected to serve on the committee. The suspension of ZIFA has been in effect since Monday 10 July 2022.
In a Facebook post seen by Pindula News, Bunjira expressed his belief that the tried and tested duo of Musona and Billiat would play a critical role in Zimbabwe’s quest to qualify for the World Cup. With limited time for preparation, he believes it is necessary to rely on established players to increase the team’s chances of success. He said:
<blockquote>
Now that international football is back, we have a normalisation committee to steer football forward, after the dark days of the past years, and Zimbabwe being placed in a fair World Cup group C, I think it is a perfect platform for Captain Knowledge Musona and Khama Billiat to come out of their forced retirement and carry the torch with the warriors for one last push, while we sort out our development structures, to groom their future replacements.
We all know why Musona and Billiat retired from the Warriors. All that is sorted now. The culprits are gone. Between now and the World Cup qualifiers, we don’t have time for experiments. I believe we now have a committee that will put in place our junior national teams where younger players are developed and groomed for the Warriors. We also have the CHAN and COSSFA tournaments where experiments and grooming is done. The Warriors is a product and window of what has been developed.
</blockquote>
Bunjira believes that Zimbabwe has been drawn into a reasonably fair <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/07/13/zimbabwe-nigeria-sa-in-group-c-of-world-cup-2026-qualifiers/">group for the World Cup</a> which is comprised of Nigeria, South Africa, Benin, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Lesotho. He believes that with the inclusion of all the best players on the team and proper preparation, the country can put up a good fight. Additionally, he emphasised the importance of tapping into the deep reserves of football talent in the diaspora, across the world.
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2021/011/15/it-was-all-a-dream-khama-billiat-retires-from-international-football/">Billiat retired from international football</a> after Zimbabwe’s 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia in November 2021. A highly regarded player for the Warriors, he scored important goals, made assists, and displayed crowd-pleasing dribbling skills. It was expected he would retire after the AFCON finals in 2022. While he stated that he was retiring to allow other players a chance to represent Zimbabwe, there were rumours that he quit over the manner the team was being governed.
Knowledge Musona, known as “The Smiling Assassin,” <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2022/05/19/knowledge-musona-retires-from-international-football/">announced his retirement from international football</a> on Thursday, 19 May 2022. The Saudi Arabia-based striker stated that he is quitting the Warriors to concentrate on his club career and to allow other players a chance to represent Zimbabwe.

Bunjira: It's Time For Musona And Billiat To Come Out Of Forced Retirement

Controversial Harare-based preacher, Walter Magaya, has pledged to continue financially supporting the Zimbabwe Warriors for them to play at the World Cup finals.
<a href="https://nehandaradio.com/2023/07/12/im-ready-to-sponsor-warriors-i-want-them-to-qualify-for-world-cup-magaya/">Nehanda Radio</a> on Thursday reported that Magaya, who is the founder and leader of megachurch Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries (PHD), has refused to give up on his dream to see the Warriors play at the World Cup finals. Said Magaya:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwe will play at the World Cup one day. It’s only a matter of time. As long I’m alive, I will continue supporting the team in any way to ensure this dream is fulfilled.
We have a lot of talent in this country, so why not qualify for the World Cup? I will not cease to support the national team to achieve such a remarkable feat.
</blockquote>
Magaya, who owns Premiership club Yadah Stars Football Club, has in the past bailed the financially struggling ZIFA out.
The cleric said he stopped giving financial support to the Warriors when the former ZIFA president Felton Kamambo took over the reins from Philip Chiyangwa. Magaya said:
<blockquote>
I stopped helping the Warriors for reasons beyond my control. But now that we have been re-admitted by FIFA, if the new leadership in control of things at ZIFA wants me to continue assisting the team where possible, I’m ready.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe were included in the FIFA World Cup 2026 African qualifiers and are set to learn their opponents on Thursday.
They are in pot 4 with Mozambique, Togo, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Central African Republic, Malawi and Libya.

Walter Magaya Pledges To Bankroll Warriors To Qualify For World Cup Finals

A Harare-based self-styled prophet cost some of his football-betting followers their hard-earned cash after making a false prediction of Sunday’s World Cup final result.
Tinashe Michael Sello of Christ Celebration International Ministries told his followers who bet, to place their bet on France.
He claimed before his congregation that France would beat Argentina 1-0 to win the World Cup.
However, Argentina beat France 4-2 on penalties after the match had ended 3-3 after extra time.
In a video that has been circulating on social media platforms, Sello, who calls himself “The Ultimate”, said Argentina would play a defensive game.
He added that France would penetrate Argentina’s defensive lines and score before parking the bus to win the final.
It was in fact, France that parked the bus from the onset of the match and had to come from behind twice, first to make it 2-2 and then 3-3 before losing 4-2 during penalties after extra time.
Reports claimed that Sello had closed his church following his wrong prediction and some of his followers were reportedly threatening to withdraw their membership from his church.
When H-Metro called Sello to clarify his false prediction on Monday, his personal assistant, who refused to identify herself, said:
<blockquote>
The prophet is in a meeting right now. If you are in Harare, come to church on Saturday, but if you want to see him personally come and pay US$300 for booking at our offices in Southerton.
</blockquote>
Sello’s church holds services at Kingstone House along Kwame Nkrumah Avenue.
Sello’s PA later said he was not reachable and promised to give information about the next church service. | <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/prophet-under-fire-over-world-cup-results-prophet-of-shame-church-closed-congregants-angry/">H-Metro</a>

Self-styled Prophet "Misleads" Congregants After Predicting A France World Cup Victory

Reigning football world champions France have set up a 2022 World Cup final showdown on Sunday with Lionel Messi’s Argentina after beating Morocco 2-0 in their semifinal clash on Wednesday.
Theo Hernandez scored France’s first goal inside five minutes at Al Bayt Stadium and substitute Randal Kolo Muani sealed victory for Les Bleus with a late second.
Morocco, the first African and Arab team ever to reach the last four at a World Cup, fought hard despite losing key players to injury.
Centre-back Nayef Aguerd withdrew at the last minute, fellow defender and captain Romain Saiss left the field after just 21 minutes and the Atlas Lions also lost Bayern Munich left-back Noussair Mazraoui at halftime.
For France, two of their starters in the quarterfinal win over England, Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano, were missing due to illness.
The Sunday showdown with Argentina at Lusail Stadium will be France’s fourth World Cup final in seven editions.
France will be hoping to become the first team since Brazil 60 years ago to retain the trophy.
Morocco will now face Croatia in Saturday’s third-place play-off.

2022 World Cup: France Defeat Morocco To Set Up Argentina Final

Royal Air Maroc (RAM), the Moroccan national carrier, has cancelled seven flights scheduled to depart for Doha, Qatar on Wednesday ahead of the World Cup semi-final.
The decision to cancel the flights has left hundreds of Atlas Lions fans in Morocco disappointed as they will most likely miss the semi-final clash between their country and France tonight.
The decision was made after Morocco’s FA promised to give fans 13 000 free tickets to the clash with France.
In an emailed statement to the Reuters news agency, Royal Air Maroc said:
<blockquote>
Following the latest restrictions imposed by the Qatari authorities, Royal Air Maroc regrets to inform customers of the cancellation of their flights operated by Qatar Airways.
</blockquote>
It was unclear why Qatari officials ordered the airline to stop the flights.
The decision meant some supporters who had already booked match tickets or hotel rooms were unable to travel.
RAM said it would reimburse air tickets and apologised to customers.

World Cup 2022: Moroccan Airline Cancels Flights To Qatar

Morocco became the first African nation to reach the World Cup semifinals after beating Portugal 1-0 on Saturday evening at the 2022 FIFA World Cup underway at Al Thumama Stadium in Qatar.
The Atlas Lions also became the first Arab team to make the last four following Youssef En-Nesyri’s first-half goal sealed the win.
Morocco took the lead in the 42nd minute through En-Nesyri’s header as they came on strong late in the first half.
Despite late pressure by the Portuguese, an injury-hit Morocco, without three of their four first-choice defenders once skipper Romain Saiss was forced off, hung on despite being reduced to 10 men in added time. Moroccan coach Walid Regragui said:
<blockquote>
We came up against a really great Portugal team. We’re drawing on all we have, we still have guys injured.
I told the guys before the match we had to write history for Africa. I’m very, very happy.
</blockquote>
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo was sent on early in the second half by coach Fernando Santos but could not rescue the Euro 2016 winners.
Before the victory over Portugal, Morocco had already beaten other European football powerhouses, that is, Belgium and Spain, on penalties, in Qatar.
Walid Regragui’s men will face holders France in the semifinals at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday. | <a href="https://supersport.com/football/fifa-world-cup-2022/news/2fd5ef82-e141-4197-a72a-1a016054fdff/morocco-down-portugal-to-become-first-ever-african-world-cup-semifinalists">SuperSport</a>

Morocco Beat Portugal To Become First African World Cup Semifinalists

Morocco need only avoid defeat in their final Group F match against already-eliminated Canada at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha on Thursday 1 December to guarantee progression into the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup.
The Atlas Lions secured a historic 2-0 win over Belgium on Sunday – thanks to goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhal – though coach Walid Regragui has urged his team not to get ahead of themselves. Said Regragui:
<blockquote>
The competition is not over, we have to recover quickly for the game against Canada. Hopefully, we can get a good result for the qualification.
</blockquote>
The Maple Leafs, meanwhile, are out of the last 16 contention following back-to-back losses to Belgium and Croatia, but they will still be hoping to exit Qatar 2022 on a high note.
Key players
Alphonso Davies – Davies scored Canada’s first goal in World Cup history this past weekend, though it arrived in a 4-1 loss at the hands of Croatia. He will hope to enjoy more attacking success in this final Group F clash.
Hakim Ziyech – The Chelsea winger provided the assist for Morocco’s second goal against Belgium and will want to make even more of an impact against Canada. Ziyech’s movement and superb left foot could be key to the Atlas Lions hopes.
Head-to-head stats
In head-to-head stats, Canada and Morocco have met in three previous international matches. The Atlas Lions boast an unbeaten record, with two wins and one draw. The teams’ most recent meeting was an October 2016 friendly which was won 4-0 by the North Africans.
The Maple Leafs will be coming up against African opposition at the World Cup for the first time, while this clash will also mark Morocco’s first game against a CONCACAF (North &amp; Central American and the Caribbean) team at the tournament.
Battles to watch
John Herdman v Walid Regragui – Herdman is a hero simply for leading Canada to World Cup qualification, but he will have the ambition of outsmarting Regragui in this battle of tactical wits.
Jonathan David v Romain Saiss – David has been a lively forward presence for Canada in this tournament, but he will have a tough time getting the better of Morocco’s outstanding center-back Romain Saiss.
Stephen Eustaquio v Sofyan Amrabat – A classic midfield battle in which both Eustaquio and Amrabat will hope to use their energy, physicality, and aggression to take control of the ‘engine room’.

2022 FIFA World Cup: Canada Versus Morocco Preview

SuperSport viewers on DStv will be treated to unrivalled coverage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, with the tournament set to run from 20 November to 18 December and provide the most thrilling distillation of “The Beautiful Game”.
Thursday 1 December sees Group F wrap up in the late afternoon with Croatia and Belgium meeting at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, at the same time that Canada and Morocco clash at the Al Thumama Stadium.
The latter clash sees the Atlas Lions needing only to avoid defeat in order to secure progression into the last 16, while the former battle between the Blazers and the Red Devils – two of the top three finishers at the last World Cup in 2018 – is effectively a shootout to advance.
Croatia can afford a draw, but Belgium will very likely need to win to remain alive in the tournament. Said Belgium coach Roberto Martinez:
<blockquote>
The game went away from us the moment we conceded the [first] goal [against Morocco in a 2-0 defeat]. We need to make sure that we get stronger together and we’ll get ready for the third game [against Croatia].
</blockquote>
Thursday’s night matches bring Group E to a close, as Japan and Spain clash at the Khalifa International Stadium, at the same time that Costa Rica takes on Germany at Al Bayt Stadium.
Japan, following their upset win over Germany in the first round of matches, slumped to a loss at the hands of Costa Rica this past weekend.
Coach Hajime Moiyasu wants his side to keep the faith that they can advance from the group. He said:
<blockquote>
For the Germany game and [against Costa Rica], we had high intensity… and for the next match against Spain, it will be [the same]. So we just need to increase the odds for Japan and that is how I decided on the tactics.
</blockquote>
Die Mannschaft, meanwhile, must beat Costa Rica to avoid a second successive group stage exit from the World Cup, after they could only claim a point from their first two games against the Samurai Blue and La Furia Roja.

2022 FIFA World Cup: 1 December Preview – Groups E & F Matchday 3

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has castigated western countries and accused them of moral hypocrisy.
In a speech delivered on the eve of the World Cup, the 52-year-old Swiss-Italian football administrator defended Qatar’s migrant workers’ policy and labelled those saying there were “paid fake fans” in Qatar as racist.
Qatar has been criticized by the west over the alleged ill-treatment of gay people and the deaths of migrant workers, but Infantino said critics were in no position “to give moral lessons to people”.
Infantino delivered a monologue that lasted nearly an hour in Doha, in what was supposed to be a 45-minute Q&amp;A with the media this Saturday. He said:
<blockquote>
Of course, I am not Qatari, I am not an Arab, I am not African, I am not gay, and I am not disabled.
But I feel like it because I know what it means to be discriminated against, to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country.
As a child, I was bullied – because I had red hair and freckles, plus I was Italian so imagine. I went into my room and I cried.
I feel for the FIFA and Supreme Committee staff. They want to deliver here. I am proud to have this FIFA sign on my jacket. It will be the best World Cup ever. Qatar is ready.
Hundreds of thousands of women and men from developing countries who’d like to offer their services abroad in order to help and give a future to their families back home.
Qatar is actually offering them this opportunity. They come here, and earn 10 times more than what they earn in their home country.
For what we Europeans have been doing around the world in the last 3 000 years we should be apologising for the next 3 000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people.
How many of these European or Western business companies who earn millions from Qatar, billions, and how many of them have addressed migrant workers’ rights with the authorities?
None of them, because if you change the legislation it means less profit. But we did, and FIFA generates much less than any of these companies from Qatar.
</blockquote>
Infantino also commented on reports that fans were paid to support different nations at the World Cup. He said:
<blockquote>
The world is divided enough, we are organising a World Cup, not a war. We organise a World Cup where people who have many problems want to come and enjoy. Look at the city, it’s beautiful. People are happy to celebrate.
They were happy when the teams come and they go to see them, and what do I read? These people don’t look English, they shouldn’t cheer for England because they look like Indians. What is that?
Can somebody who looks like an Indian not cheer for England, Spain, or Germany? You know what this is.
This is racism, this is pure racism. We have to stop that because everyone in the world has the right to cheer for who they want.
</blockquote>
The 2022 World Cup kicks off on Sunday, 20 November 2022, with hosts Qatar taking on Equador at 6 PM Central African Time (CAT).
In the following match, England takes on Iran on Monday at 3 PM before Senegal hosts the Netherlands at 6 PM.
The United States of America then clashes with Wales at 9 PM to wrap up the Monday fixtures. | <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12098/12750801/gianni-infantino-fifa-president-hits-out-at-qatar-world-cup-criticism-in-extraordinary-speech-ahead-of-tournament">SkySports</a>

FIFA President Accuses Europe Of "Moral Hypocrisy", Dismisses "Fake Fans" Reports As Racism

The German club, Bayern Munich has said that Senegal striker Sadio Mane isn’t out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup yet, despite earlier reports saying that he would miss it.
Mane was involved in a collision with Werder defender Amos Pieper in the first half of the encounter at the Allianz Arena.
French publication L’Equipe reported that Mane’s issue would be enough to see him miss out, with Senegal’s first match of the Qatar showpiece just 12 days away.
However, Bayern’s official report later on Wednesday said that whilst the forward would miss Saturday’s game with Schalke, there would be further tests to see the extent of the injury.
They also added that they are in contact with Senegal’s medical staff. <a href="https://www.eurosport.com/football/world-cup/2022/senegal-s-sadio-mane-set-to-be-ruled-out-of-world-cup-with-injury-suffered-in-bayern-munich-win-over_sto9219300/story.shtml">The Bayern statement read</a>:
<blockquote>
Sadio Mane has suffered an injury to the head of his right fibula in FC Bayern’s 6-1 win against Werder Bremen.
Africa’s Footballer of the Year will miss Saturday’s game against Schalke. Further examinations will follow in the coming days.
FC Bayern is also in contact with the medical staff of the Senegalese Football Association.
</blockquote>

Sadio Mane Not Out Of World Cup Yet

South Africa has expressed interest in hosting the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The decision to bid was made at the South Africa Football Association (SAFA) weekend executive council meeting. SAFA CEO Tebogo Motlanthe said:
<blockquote>
We welcomed the world to South Africa when we hosted the men’s FIFA World Cup 12 years ago, and we would like to be given an opportunity to roll out the red carpet again in 2027 during the women’s tournament.
</blockquote>
Other countries that have shown interest in hosting the FIFA Women’s World Cup are Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
The United States of America have also indicated a desire to bid for either the 2027 or 2031 World Cups.
South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA men’s World Cup, becoming the first and only African country to have hosted the prestigious competition.
The 64 matches were hosted during the month-long tournament in 10 stadiums, five were built from scratch, and five received upgrades. | <a href="https://www.iol.co.za/sport/soccer/south-africa-in-bid-to-host-2027-womens-world-cup-bfd1d3a5-d168-4d99-ad3a-f72e18c1a43b">IOL</a>

South Africa Wants To Host 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup

The decision made by the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) to back the joint United States-Canada-Mexico bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup seems to have paid off as the North American countries were awarded the 2026 World Cup by Fifa. Zimbabwe supported the joint bid ahead of that of fellow African country Morocco. Said Chiyangwa back then,
<blockquote>We have consulted our Government. The Zimbabwe Government is warming to the United bid, and that will inform our vote accordingly. We had a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I’m happy to say that the Zimbabwe Government is happy to support the United bid.</blockquote>
The US, Canada and Mexico’s United bid won 67  percent (134 votes) of the vote while Morocco received 33 percent (65 votes) of the vote. One country, Togo,  did not vote.   Said US Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro,
<blockquote>Thank you so, so much for this incredible honour. Thank you for entrusting us with this privilege. We are all united in football, the beautiful game transcends borders and cultures. Football today is the only victor.</blockquote>
