FIFA’s ruling council confirmed a timetable for 2030 bidding and a vote to be held in the third quarter of 2024 by around 200 member federations.
FIFA has long targeted a decision in 2024 for the tournament that is currently scheduled to have 48 teams.
In the 2030 World Cup hosting race, co-hosting bids from South America and Europe have been the expected favorites, with Morocco also in the picture and speculation about a Saudi-led and unprecedented three-continent project.
The inaugural 1930 World Cup host, Uruguay, is part of a centenary bid with Argentina, Chile and Paraguay.
Spain and Portugal were joined last October for their longstanding European candidacy by Ukraine.
Morocco committed to taking part in the 2030 contest more than four years ago immediately after losing the vote for the 2026 tournament to the North Americans.
