Cristiano Ronaldo says 2030 World Cup will be ‘most special’ yet after Portugal confirmed as co-host

Associated Press  

MADRID — Cristiano Ronaldo led the celebrations after Portugal and five other countries were officially announced as hosts of the 2030 men’s World Cup on Wednesday, with the player saying the unique tournament will be the “most special” yet. The 2030 tournament will be the first World Cup played in six different counties, with Spain, Portugal and Morocco as the main hosts while South American nations Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay will each get one game. “A dream come true,” the 39-year-old Ronaldo wrote in an Instagram post that had a photo of him celebrating while wearing Portugal’s jersey and featured the words: “The Most Special World Cup ever.” Ronaldo is the only man to have scored at five World Cup tournaments, but he is unlikely to still be playing in 2030. The first World Cup was played in Uruguay, the first world champion nation and now we also have the last World Cup champion, Argentina.” ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
