MONTEVIDEO, June 13 -- The Uruguayan government denied on Wednesday that the successful bid by Canada, Mexico and the U.S. to host the 2026 World Cup had weakened the joint bid by Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay to host the 2030 edition.

"That the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) will host the World Cup in 2026 does not harm the bid by Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay to organize this competition in 2030," declared the national secretary for sport, Fernando Caceres.

On Thursday, the three South American countries will officially present their bid to FIFA in Moscow, Russia, with the favorable precedent of another triple bid having been selected, Caceres told reporters.

Caceres added that the rotation of World Cups is not based on continents, but confederations. Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay are part of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL).

In 2030, the World Cup will be celebrating its 100th anniversary, with Uruguay having hosted the first edition in 1930 and won the championship, when it beat Argentina in the final 4-2.

So far, this is the only formal bid to have been lodged, although there have been indications that England is preparing a bid, while Morocco and Algeria may table a joint effort. Enditem
