The seven countries set to host soccer's 2030 and 2034 men's FIFA World Cups have officially submitted bid books to the sport's global governing body.

This represents a formality, given that FIFA essentially confirmed the host nations of each tournament last October. The 2030 edition will be predominantly staged in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, while one individual game each will be held in Argentina, Uruguay, and Uruguay.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, is at this point on to exclusively stage the 2034 edition, which by FIFA rules has to either take place in Asia or Oceania.

There will be no other bids for either tournament.

The bid book details the bid’s general vision and technical planning, including transport, accommodation, and security arrangements, as well as outlining the proposed host cities and stadiums for the tournament.

These were officially handed over to FIFA president Gianni Infantino before the bid submission deadline on July 31.

An evaluation report into the bids will be published by FIFA in the fourth quarter.

The final, formal, vote to confirm the hosts of the 2030 and 2034 FIFA World Cups will then take place on December 11 this year.

Infantino has now said: "The submission of the bid books represents a key milestone in the bidding processes for the 2030 and 2034 editions of the FIFA World Cup as we aim to organize iconic celebrations of football and humanity.

"The seven bidding countries from four confederations have already given a lot to football, countries with great passion for the game, great organizational skills, and a shared vision of what football and its values should be. Equally, these bidding processes prove that football unites the world.”

Of the seven countries involved in the bid book submissions, Portugal, Paraguay, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia will be making their debuts as FIFA men's World Cup hosts.
