Dominguez said: “The 2030 World Cup is not an ordinary World Cup. 100 years ago, the first World Cup was held in South America in 1930. Considering the 100th anniversary of the World Cup, the World Cup should be held in South America.”

Dominguez believes FIFA leadership can “in a great gesture” place the 2030 World Cup in its birthplace, above other interests.
