A country that has much love football,  this love is not enough for  the country to host world cup. For a country to host world cup their are many things that are required for a country to get opportunity of hosting world cup. Good facilities,  security and other things , this must be available.

It's actually going to be four countries, not just one. Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay are bidding for the 2030 World Cup.

If they actually get it, it would be an awkward South American qualification. There are 10 teams, and from the next world cup there will be 6 directly qualified teams with one going to playoffs.

With 4 South American countries qualified as hosts, and 6 directly qualifying, that would mean the whole continent would qualify for that world cup, without a single qualifying match needed.

Even though I can see the advantage of hosting the World Cup in South America, because there are some good economies here and of course the big passion people feel for football. I would also like this event to be hosted in more exotic places in the future.

Perhaps, the organizations and sponsors do not feel the need of doing so, but I think it would be a good chance to promote this sport in countries where it does not have as much importance in South America.

It is just an idea, sure, but I still recall how people got very excited in Africa when the WC got there for the first time ever back in 2010.
A quad-nation World Cup, huh? Quite the gathering! No doubt, South America's got the vibes for hosting the extravaganza. But let's not kid ourselves—our big, beautiful world's got more to offer. Imagine this: The World Cup in Antarctica! Envision those penguins dribbling on ice, while huskies officiate the matches. Or, what about a lunar World Cup? With low gravity, we'd witness otherworldly goals. Alright, alright, I'll reel it in. The gist is, let's stir the pot. Introduce the World Cup to fresh, uncharted territories. Who's to say we won't uncover hidden soccer prodigies along the way?

I fear you are not too far away from some abstruse locations, hosting sports events where it makes the least sense. Qatar was a great example for that. Qatar building all this infrastructure that nobody ever needs again while allowing for thousands and thousands of people to die. How far are we really away from building stadiums in Antarctica, destroying nature wherever possible and taking living space from wild animals. Sounds quite like the human beings are making plans? Not really that unrealistic...

Maintaining high levels of security will be a challenge. But then, the world cup was held previously in countries such as South Africa and Brazil without any major issues. Even then, hosting the tournament in Nigeria or some of the other African countries will pose a big challenge. Once in a while, FIFA may allow countries such as Nigeria to host the events. But then, they should not ignore deserving nations such as China and Japan, just because they are not poor. Despite being the most populous country, China has never hosted the FIFA world cup. This is not fair.

Current president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, claimed that organization will set record in profit during 2022-2026 period due to increase of number of team that participate in FIFA World Cup 2026 and the size of North-American market.

I think this is the reason why China never hosted FIFA World Cup - it is unprofitable for FIFA to run cup there. Even though China has everything - infrastructure, football is popular there. But it is all about money.

Or there are fewer football federations in China or Asia in general, to have enough votes to vote for China when they choose who will host next World Cup.

Those are indeed very exotic places but being serious, I had other places in mind, like Mongolia, El Salvador, Cuba, Malta, Nigeria, etc. Places where a World Cup has had never been celebrated and give the people of that country the joy of an unique experience and worldwide cover.

Also, the cover would not be only about Football, usually news channels and documentary film makers pay attention to WC hosts to spread awareness of social problems, that is what they have done in Brazil and South Africa in the past.

One of the challenges would be security and keeo things in order for foreigners who would come to visit, but I would be confident that the organizers could achieve it.

When FIFA allows a country like South Africa the good point of the story for that country is they can have the chance to introduce their country and traditions to other nations and bring more demand for their business, but in the side of the story they don't have enough story and facilities and can't have a good host for world cup comparing to others.

ALcohal ban has been supported by the people and they felt really good and many of the fans said that they really lived the moment because in all the happy moment they were drunk and never remember what has happened. Women to felt secure and they liked their stay there - we will see if the upcoming world cup will be as secure as the one happened in Qatar.

You can definitely have a beer or two and remember absolutely everything that is going on.

Also, I'm not sure women like how they are treated in Qatar:

I partially agree with you. At the next world cup in Canada, the USA and Mexico, we should not expect the restrictions that existed in Qatar, such as the ban on serving alcohol, but there are other possible restrictions and problems.
First of all, I mean the fact that it is very difficult for citizens of most countries in the world to get a visa to visit America.
Considering that most of the fans are young people, usually unemployed, this could become a serious problem.
In addition, America as a country is very expensive for tourists and the question is how many fans will be able to afford to visit America during the soccer world cup.

the other disadvantage is that not everyone will be able to get US visa and most of the people will be planning to go there and would never come back.
Qatar on the other hand is a different country - it is secure and have a flexible visa policy and now none would be in hiding there.

muslim country has a different rules and they are bit strict - for example Qatar banned one love flag and band
They banned alcohal in the stadium - there were other ristriction too. But none of the ristriction had a bad affect on the fan. Fan drank less and enjoyed the sport.
There was less harasment and women too felt secure - what went wrong in Qatar?

The next World Cup may not have such strict rules as in Qatar. As Qatar is a Muslim country they follow some strict rules and regulations. In the next World Cup I think football fans will be able to enjoy the game of football freely.

You are absolutely right bud, introducing the world cup to new territories, countries we did probably not imagine to ever have what it takes to host the world cup, would be a game changer, and we never can under estimate what kind of talent that wil be discovered in those countries.
The world is filled with great talented players, but the issue is, most of them can't differenciate their left from their right when it comes to how to get to the top of the game, if the world cup can be allowed to travel to every crook and cranny of this world, amazing talents will sure be discovered - no doubt.
Not just keep recycling the world cup hosting among well developed cities alone.

I always supported the idea that if you are going to do a world cup, then you do it in a nation filled with football history and culture. There is nothing else you need, it could be even a poor nation and they would still have everything you need.

Argentina is famously a poor nation, they had record breaking inflation after inflation and you could stay at a five star hotel literally for 10 bucks a day, that is the cheapness level and poverty level they have, and yet if you do a world cup there, between the amazing stadiums and the football culture and people who would love to watch it, you are going to end up with a lot of fans and a great world cup. Wealth doesn't equal a good world cup, love of football does equal it without a doubt though.

Love is not enough for a country to host the world cup we know Brazil is the country where most people love football and there are many players in that country, but if they want to host the World Cup, first they have to have enough financial potential for the tournament and they need to have enough sports facilities and hostels but I don't think if Brazel and Argentina got any of these.
Lionel Messi's biggest gain is securing Argentina's World Cup. He is a living legend with nothing left to achieve in his football career except the World Cup. Finally this dream of Lionel Messi has come true now there is no more achievement left in his career he will be a living legend forever in our hearts.

Talking about the World Cup which was held in South Africa 2010, indeed it is the most impressive World Cup if we compare it with the World Cup after South Africa which hosted it. There is no doubt about the atmosphere created in every game, and I can safely say that from 2010 to the 2022 World Cup, the South African World Cup was the most exciting World Cup for me personally. Maybe this opinion will differ from the opinion of other people, but around me we feel the same way about the 2010 World Cup.

I think it should happen in South America because it's the 100th anniversary, and it all started in Uruguay 1930, so it would be really great to have it there.

But yeah, it would be a bit strange to have the whole continent qualified immediately without having any qualifying matches
