The draw converts qualified teams into group routes, match numbers and possible knockout paths.

Morocco, Portugal and Spain will stage the main tournament. Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay will each host one centenary match at the start of the competition.
When does the 2030 World Cup begin?+
The centenary celebrations and three South American opening matches are planned for 8–9 June 2030. Opening matches in Morocco, Portugal and Spain follow on 13–14 June.
When is the 2030 World Cup final?+
The FIFA World Cup 2030 final is scheduled for Sunday 21 July 2030. FIFA has not yet confirmed its venue.
How many teams and matches will there be?+
The tournament will feature 48 teams and 104 matches. Morocco, Portugal and Spain will stage 101 matches, with three centenary matches in South America.
What is the World Cup 2030 format?+
FIFA's evaluation report confirms 48 teams in 12 groups of four. The top two from each group and the eight best third-placed teams advance to a Round of 32, followed by single-match knockouts.
Which cities and stadiums will host World Cup 2030 matches?+
The evaluated bid proposed 20 stadiums in 17 cities across Morocco, Portugal and Spain, plus centenary venues in South America. FIFA has not yet published the final venue list or match assignments, so bid candidates are not confirmed hosts for a particular game.
Which teams have qualified for World Cup 2030?+
Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay qualify automatically from their confederations' allocations. The other 42 places will be decided through qualifying.
Can I buy World Cup 2030 tickets now?+
Official match tickets are not yet on general sale. Anyseats will show verified resale inventory when sellers list confirmed 2030 events; always check the match, date and venue before ordering.
Can supporters attend matches in more than one host country?+
Potentially, but the practical answer depends on the final schedule, kick-off times and border routes. The 101 main-host matches are concentrated in geographically close Morocco, Portugal and Spain; the three South American centenary matches require a separate long-haul plan.
