Available for over a year

FIFA has announced the 2030 World Cup will be held across six countries in three continents. Spain, Portugal and Morocco have been named as the co-hosts, with the opening three matches taking place in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. Uruguayan football broadcaster Martín Kesman tells Sport Today’s Ed Harry that a “party” can be expected in Uruguay, 100 years since the inaugural tournament in the country's capital, Montevideo. The opening matches in South America are to mark the World Cup's centenary with the first tournament held in 1930.
