FIFA senior vice-president and president of Argentina FA Julio
Grondona has confirmed interest in having the 2030 World Cup
joint-hosted by Argentina and Uruguay.  The 2030 competition
would mark 100 years of World Cup play, with the first-ever
World Cup hosted by Uruguay in 1930 and the final saw Uruguay
defeat Argentina 4-2.  Grondona confirmed the world soccer
governing body were vastly intrigued by the prospect of
celebrating 100 years with the significance of the locales.
“FIFA wishes to celebrate the World Cup’s 100 years in Argentina
and Uruguay, I can confirm that,” the Argentine told Radio 10 in
Argentina. “(An agreement) has been signed by the two
associations (AFA and Uruguay’s AUF). What will we do?… We’ll
see but surely something of quality.”  Only one previous World
Cup has been co-hosted by two or more nations in the past, with
Japan and South Korea co-hosting the 2002
