'The FIFA Council unanimously agreed to celebrate the centenary of the FIFA World Cup' - Infantino

Spain has got the hosting rights just weeks after the resignation of their former Football chief, Luis Rubiales. "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," added the statement.

Infantino said that there was unanimous agreement for the decision. "In a divided world, FIFA and football are uniting. 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 organize one match each of the FIFA World Cup 2030," said Infantino.
