World Cup 2030: Opening in South America
This prediction asks if the 2030 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony/first matches will be held in South America.
The Confirmed Centenary Plan
The **'Yes'** vote is a virtual certainty because FIFA has already formally approved the unique hosting arrangement. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup (1930), the tournament's opening three matches will be played in **Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay**, with the main opening ceremony likely at the historic Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. The rest of the tournament will then move to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. This 'celebratory matches' plan is already official policy.
