our sports news editor dan roan has more on this. dan, how can this work logistically?t is an amazing deal that has been struck by fifa today along with a number of configurations that represent the different continents of the football landscape. if fans thought the idea of a winter world cup was a novel proposition, they will be just as amazed perhaps is the announcement today. for the first time ever at the world cup will be staged across three continents. it will be staged in three countries in 2026 in the us, canada and mexico. fifa have gone one better it seems with this. six different countries over three continents. spain, portugal, morocco are effectively the co—hosts of this tournament, but in a move that is meant to honour and mark the centenary of the inaugural world cup in uruguay, the opening match will take place in montevideo, then there will be another match in buenos aires, then another one in paraguay, before everything moves over to europe. in what appears to be a big deal that has been struck, and all the different parts are moving into place now, fi
