The 2038 FIFA World Cup 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.
FIFA restricted the hosting eligibility to North America or Oceania after it made the decision to host the 2030 World Cup on three continents (Africa, Europe and South America) and for Saudi Arabia to host the 2034 World Cup.
Host selection[edit]
The bidding to host the 2038 FIFA World Cup has yet to start. Only countries from both North America and Oceania are eligible to host this World Cup as Europe, Africa, South America will host 2030 and Asia will host 2034.
Bids[edit]
The bidding process for this World Cup has yet to start, nor has any information come out about how the bidding process will work. However, if FIFA's confederation exclusion process is still used for 2038, it is likely only North America and/or Oceania are allowed to host; South America, Europe and Africa can't bid due to the agreement to host the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco with celebratory games in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, while Asia will host the 2034 World Cup.
It has been suggested by many Australians online that Australia could bypass the rotation rule in 2038 by co-hosting the World Cup with New Zealand similar to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup and/or other OFC nations, though this is unlikely unless the AFC were to split or Australia were to return to the OFC prior to bidding. However, with much of the OFC outside of New Zealand lacking the resources to host such a large tournament (New Zealand itself having very few FIFA approved stadiums) and much of CONCACAF having a similar problem, some have suggested that the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosts (United States, Canada, Mexico) might host again either together or separately, possibly making Mexico the first country to host the tournament four times, and/or the United States the second country to host the World Cup three times.
But if FIFA will chage the rules we will have a potential bids like:
europe:
UK and IRELAND
ITALY and Turkey
GERAMANY,NETHERLANDS and BELGIUM
africa:
EGYPT
IVORY COAST and NIGERIA
asia
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - BAHREIN - KUWEIT - OMAN
CHINA
north america
CARRIBEAN COUNTRIES
inter-confederations
MOROCCO-SPAIN probabily with PORTUGAL or/and GIBRALTAR
AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND
