FIFA Coupe du Monde 2038: Where the World Might Turn
The anticipation around the 2038 FIFA World Cup is already building, even before the official bidding process begins. Fans and analysts alike are turning to simulations, historical data, and the evolving landscape of international football to imagine what the tournament could look like. This article explores the most plausible host nations, the future of stadiums—particularly in Italy—, and the intriguing possibility of France hosting again, forty years after its 1998 triumph.
