The 2038 FIFA World Cup is an upcoming tournament, and will be the 26th FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial international football tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA.
According to rotational rules designated by FIFA, Saudi Arabia's selection as host.[1] - and Spain, Morocco, Portugal and South American countries including Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay's selection as hosts and ceremonial match hosts for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, means only countries from North America (CONCACAF) and Oceania (OFC) may bid.
Host selection
[edit]Bidding for the 2038 FIFA World Cup likely won't open until at the latest 8 years prior to the start of the tournament, or 12 at the earliest - taken from the number of years prior to hosting it, after selection for both the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, and for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - in 2010[2]
This would mean a host will not be selected until 2031, or 2032, at the latest.
Potential Hosts
It's believed[3] the United States of America will likely be chosen to host it again, as it has previous history from hosting, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and 1994 FIFA World Cup.
It also has the venues and infrastructure in place due to previous hosting, so will likely be chosen due to the feasibility of hosting it, if it was selected as host.
Others
Other potential hosts would include Oceania, or other North American nations - however, no discussion has arisen for bidding for it, just yet.
