Maybe the Bet365 could be used for Albania 🇦🇱 v Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 or similar?

There’s no chance of the 5 hosts getting automatic qualification so how’s that going to work?

This will be confirmed formally on the 10th October. On the subject of tournament hosting, the 2030 World Cup will be held over three continents. The group stages will be played in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, and then the rest of the competition will be moved to Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

The higher ranked will likely qualify anyway and then all the host nations can be there. |

Sky have suggested all will still need to qualify but 2 slots will be saved for hosts that don't qualify - countries outside obviously think this sounds a bit shit unsurprisingly. Amazed they've not announced yet three random Asian countries getting the group games along with Fiji and Papua New Guinea getting a couple of last 16 matches. |

And the Saudi's to host it in 2034 well that's one to avoid, unless you're a fan of half time beheadings/limb amputation, with a local MC's diatribe in misogyny and homophobia. |

I can see the qualification process changing by 2028 anyway to follow the women's where it seems to be determined by Nations League ranking.
In terms of the WC there's an element of jeopardy to keep the big teams moderately concerned but when 24 of 50 odd teams are qualifying they're meaningless games for the top 10 sides at least.

Playing these tournaments across several countries and continents must really be positive for the environment, just as we keep being preached. Must all be travelling by bicycle

With so many countries qualifying it makes sense to be split between several neighbouring countries as are only so many Premier Inns in the world. Another version of 3 lions a bit much to handle though. |
