The race to organize the World Cup 2030 is unleashed There are two applications that have already been made official and the work to obtain the place is in full swing. This Friday, news about the South American bid (with four countries) to welcome the next planetary meeting.
This Friday, as part of the 76th Ordinary Congress of the South American Football Confederation, in Luque, the entity chaired by Alejandro Domínguez presented the 18 stadiums that choose to host the event. Argentina is the one that brings the most alternative places, with seven.
Through a video, Conmebol detailed the 18 places where the 104 matches of the 48 teams that will compete in the World Cup will be played (if this bid wins). If Argentina has seven stadiums, Paraguay has five stadiums. Uruguay and Chile have three each.
The country contributes to this with two campuses in the capital and one in the region. Those of Santiago are those with the greatest capacity: the National Stadium and the Monumental Stadium. The colossus of Ñuñoa is the one with the highest total capacity, although it cannot host football this year due to the renovations that the area is undergoing due to the Pan American Games in October. In addition to the Colo Colo campus, the other is Ester Roa Rebolledo de Concepción, whose new face has already hosted the 2015 Copa América in Chile.
As described, Argentina has the highest number of stadiums in the World Cup bid. One of them is the Monumental of Núñez the River Plate house, which recently presented its new face, which allowed it to increase in capacity. Today it has a capacity of 83,000 people, being the largest ground in South America. An emblematic place of Transandean football that is not among the candidates is La Bombonera.
In addition, the Confederation has expressed that the construction in Paraguay of the Conmebol stadium is projected, for 60,000 spectators.
