Six Hosts, Three Continents
The 2030 tournament marks a century since Uruguay hosted and won the first World Cup in 1930. FIFA split the centenary edition across two continents: the bulk of the tournament runs in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with three opening matches played in South America.

All six are already qualified. As hosts they take automatic places, so 42 of the 48 spots go through qualifying. For Spain that means four years of competitive football with a guaranteed finals place and, unusually, the world title already in the cabinet.

What a Four-Year Outright Actually Means
Betting on a tournament four years out is not the same as betting on a match. Worth understanding before you stake anything:
- โขYour money is locked up. No settlement until July 2030. That stake is unavailable for four years, whatever happens in your life meanwhile.
- โขSquads change completely. Most of the players who will decide 2030 are not yet established internationals. Today's prices reflect today's squads.
- โข42 of 48 teams are not yet qualified. A nation priced today may not even reach the finals.
- โขPrices move. The same selection may be available at a longer price later, or shorter. There is no urgency built into a four-year market.
