News today involving World Cup and Euro bids:

-2030 FIFA World Cup will be held across 3 continents. It will begin in South America, where the opening game of the tournament will be held in Montevideo, which hosted the 1930 final. There will also be one match held in Argentina and Paraguay before moving onto the primary hosts of the tournament which will be Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. Each nation will get an automatic bid into the 48-team tournament. This also means that only member federations from Asia and Oceania will be eligible to bid for the 2034 World Cup and both Saudi Arabia and Australia have indicated that they intend to bid.
-UEFA has confirmed that the UK and Ireland will be the sole bid for Euro 2028. Turkey has withdrawn their bid and intend to focus on a joint bid with Italy to co-host Euro 2032.

With this being another international break, there has been qualifying matches for Euro 2024 being held. Thus far, there have been 8 teams that have qualified for next summer's tournament in Germany after the matches held this weekend and today. Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, Scotland, Turkey, and Austria have all qualified in addition to the hosts. Could likely have two more qualify through tomorrow automatically if both Slovenia and Denmark win their matches.

The Sweden/Belgium match that was abandoned earlier today likely will not be made up as both Belgium and Austria are through from their group.
