The voting process for World Cup 2026 and 2030 are in full effect, with Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay the latest to form a bid for the greatest tournament in football.

All three countries agreed to a structure where Argentina would receive eight host cities, while Uruguay and Paraguay would each receive two for the centennial version of the World Cup.

Considering the first edition of the tournament debuted in Uruguay in 1930, you would have to think this bid is a serious one.

The voting process for the 2026 World Cup is set to begin in June, with Morocco taking on a joint bid from the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Morocco successfully hosted the 2013 and 2014 Club World Cups and the 2018 African Nations Championship.

The joint bid would see ten matches played in both Canada and Mexico [three cities], while sixty would be played in America [17 cities].

The World Cup was held in Argentina in 1978 and has never been played in Paraguay.

The tournament is expected to expand to 48 teams by the time 2026 comes around, thus allowing more joint bids to take place.
