Santiago, Nov 4: Chile is keen to co-host the 2030 World Cup, as per an announcement made by the newly re-elected President of the country’s football federatio, the ANFP. The federations of both Uruguay and Argentina have already expressed their interest in a joint bid for football's showpiece event in 2030.
Chilean daily La Tercera cited the president of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), Wilmar Valdez, saying on Monday that Chile was interested in forming an alliance to bid for co-hosting privileges.

"Our first choice is (to host with) Argentina. In any case, we think it's a positive thing, given that Chile is also interested, that there's a possibility we can do it between the three countries or between the two countries most in tune," the daily quoted Valdez as saying.
Valdez said the president of Chile's National Association of Professional Football (ANFP), Sergio Jadue, "told me of Chile's intention to really participate in this project".
Uruguay organised the first FIFA World Cup in 1930 and the centenary of this event looks set to stay in South America. Chile hosted the games in 1962 and Argentina had their turn in 1978.
