Ukraine will reportedly be joining Spain and Portugal in a bid to be named the 2030 FIFA World Cup hosts. 

The World Cup will be held in Qatar next month, but FIFA is always looking ahead to see which country, or countries in this case, could be named the hosts for the coming tournaments. For 2026, it will be the United States, Canada and Mexico hosting after receiving 134 votes over Morocco’s 65 among the 200 FIFA member federations. One of them didn’t vote. 

Someone familiar with Ukraine’s addition to the Spain-Portugal bid said the announcement is scheduled for Wednesday at UEFA headquarters, per the Associated Press.
