2030 World Cup Six Hosts

Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay have been added as co-hosts for the 2030 World Cup. While they still compete in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, they are automatically qualified for the finals.

Meanwhile, qualification rules for CONMEBOL have been adjusted:

  • 3 teams qualify directly for the finals

  • 1 team advances to the inter-continental playoffs

The 2038 World Cup will ignore host rotation rules, as most confederations will have already hosted within a 20-year span. Instead, the game will randomly select from available hosting conditions.

There is also an unresolved issue in 2030 finals where CONMEBOL hosts should only host a single home match in the finals. This will be addressed in a future update.

Matches

Most venues are pre-assigned, so you can see venue names before matches begin.

Players

All players include a goalkeeping attribute.

Teams with higher Elo ratings are more likely to produce stronger players with higher attack, defense, and goalkeeping attributes compared to weaker teams.

Default Match Section Settings

Added a new option in General Settings to customize which match sections are shown by default, including scorelines, goal times, pundit predictions, win probabilities, jerseys, and charts.

Future Host Editor

Hosts must now be edited season by season. You cannot edit all future 10 seasons of hosts in bulk anymore.

A new “Venue” tab allows customization of Final and Third Place match locations. You must select the host team before assigning venues.

Jerseys

Added a new V-neck collar style.

You can customizable cuff colors for both long-sleeve and short-sleeve.

Refined the shape of the shorts’ cuff (bottom edge).

Split the "Shoulder side color" setting into two options: "Shoulder edge color" and "Sleeve edge color,"

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused players to be replaced at the start of a match.

When you paused a match and then refreshed the app, it would prevent the match from progressing.

Fixed European Cup final seeding when hosted by two countries (applies to new saves)
