"When I was at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast (2024), the fans were singing a song in support of the national team," Skira told DW. "It said that some had come by plane, others by car, some by bicycle, and still others on foot. I picked out the word 'bicycle' and that's how I came here."

Multiple sources have told the Guardian however, that they have yet to gain the support of the other Conmebol members, who are concerned about the impact of World Cup expansion on their qualifying competition, the main source of revenue for many of the national associations. South American World Cup qualifying is currently an 18-game round-robin single-table competition, with all 10 countries playing each other home and away.

We believe in a historic 2030 World Cup! Thank you, President Gianni Infantino, for welcoming us and sharing this journey toward the centennial of football's greatest celebration. We want to call for unity, creativity, and believing big. Because when football is shared by everyone, the celebration is truly global.
