GENEVA—The 2030 men’s soccer World Cup is set to feature games in six countries on three continents in a unique format that will allow the tournament to celebrate its 100th anniversary in Uruguay.

FIFA reached an agreement Wednesday between soccer’s continental leaders to accept a bid spearheaded by co-hosts Spain, Portugal, and Morocco as the only candidate for the hosting rights. The agreement also includes staging games in South American countries Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, which had earlier promoted a rival co-hosting bid.
