Yeah, I was incorrect. With 3 hosts from South America, Conmebol will have 3.5 qualification spots. So still 6 or 7 spots at the World Cup as they would have received without the 3 host nations.
Apparently Australia are on the same timeline to register their bid. It would be interesting to see if Australia and New Zealand team up. The Women’s World Cup was a fantastic tournament, so it would be nice to see the Men’s World Cup in this part of the world.
And yes, so stupid having the tournament in 3 continents. I can understand USA/Canada/Mexico as they are neighbouring countries but different continents seems like an idea only FIFA could drum up.
