Chile is keen to co-host the 2030 World Cup. 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, Monday saying that Chile was interested in co-hosting bid, reports Xinhua.
"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, Chile hosted the games in 1962 and Argentina in 1978.
