Bookies now make the Iberian Bid 2/1 favourite to host the World Cup in 2030
Bookmakers make the Iberian Bid the 2/1 favourite now to host the 2030 World Cup with Ukraine joining Spain and Portugal in the joint bidding.
It is understood that if the bid to host the 2030 World Cup was won, then Ukraine would host one of the Groups at the tournament.
Smarkets have now made that bid favourite coming in from the 7/1 that it was prior to Ukraine being announced as joining it.
| 2030 World Cup Host | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Spain-Portugal-Ukraine | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Morocco | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Uruguay | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| China | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Former favourite Morocco just behind in the betting odds
Morocco were the favourites to host the 2030 World Cup, with their odds drifting slightly from 2/1 to 11/4 now to host the prestigious event.
Africa have not held a World Cup since South Africa in 2010, which was one of the most entertaining tournaments in recent history with Spain eventual winners.
Many will remember that tournament for the Jabulani ball which meant there were some great goals scored plus the vuvuzela's in the crowd.

Uruguay are the third favourites to host the tournament
Uruguay won the first ever World Cup in 1930, with the country actually hosting the event too.
The 2030 World Cup will be 100 years on from that event, so FIFA could well decide to celebrate 100 years of their showpiece event with hosting it in Uruguay again.
At odds of 5/1, bookies give a 16.7% chance that Uruguay are hosts for the prestigious event.
Argentina, Chile and Paraguay are also set to be part of Uruguay's host bid, with the last South American hosts of the event being Brazil back in 2014.
