Ukraine in joint bid for 2030 World Cup: The Times 

Ukraine is set to be part of Spain and Portugal’s joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup, Report informs, quoting from The Times.

Under the move, which is understood to have been sanctioned by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the national governments of Spain and Portugal, the war-torn country would host one of the groups in the tournament.

The new partnership is due to be officially announced by Spain and Portugal football chiefs during a news conference at Uefa’s headquarters on Wednesday. The proposal harnesses the idea that football can restore hope and peace. Although security assurances would be needed, the expectation is that, by 2030, Russia’s invasion will have been over for some time, and the rebuilding of the country will be fully underway.
