		</div><p>Spain and Portugal’s football federations have confirmed Ukraine has been added to their joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup.</p>
<p>The three nations announced their collaborative bid at a media conference at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The Royal Spanish Football Federation said: “The RFEF and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) have incorporated the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) into the Iberian Bid to organize the 2030 World Cup.</p>
<p>“The proposal has the unconditional support of UEFA in a global project and transformer of European football in an exceptional situation.</p>
<p>“(RFEF president) Luis Rubiales and (FPF president and UEFA vice-president) Fernando Gomes understand that there is nothing better than a World Cup to strongly transmit a message that will serve as a source of inspiration in the future.”</p>
<p>The 2030 World Cup will be a 48-team tournament with the finals set to be expanded for the first time at the 2026 edition, which will be hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.</p>
<p>It has been reported that Ukraine intends to host one of the groups if their joint bid is successful.</p>
<p>Spain, Portugal and Ukraine face stiff competition from other 2030 World Cup bids, which include a four-nation South American proposal from Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay.</p>
<p>Another three-nation bid from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece is expected and in 2018 Morocco confirmed they will bid for the 2030 World Cup in a possible joint-venture with Tunisia and Algeria.</p>
<p>RFEF president Rubiales added: “It is no longer the Iberian bid, now it is the European bid.</p>
<p>“Fernando and I, in Portugal and in Spain, see how friends and families host tens of thousands of (Ukrainian) exiles, who are currently outside their country.</p>
<p>“I am convinced that these boys and girls will remember this historical moment for them. And they will grow up with the hope, which is a precious word, that one day that moment of peace will come.</p>
<p>“If football can help anything, even if it’s one per cent, we’re satisfied.”</p>
