South America CONMEBOL chief leans on football heritage claim to 2030 World Cup

Description

South America's football boss, CONMEBOL President Alejandro Domínguez, says that FIFA should honour the legacy of Pelé and the late Diego Maradona by awarding the centennial 2030 World Cup to the continent. With competition intensifying before the global body decides on the event in 2024, Domínguez adds there should be less focus on "money" in the process.
