Overview
- Speaking at the Bolivian FA centenary in La Paz with CONMEBOL's Alejandro Domínguez and president‑elect Rodrigo Paz present, Gianni Infantino declared, "Vamos a traer un Mundial aquí."
- He did not specify whether the proposed tournament would be a senior men's, youth, or women's World Cup.
- Infantino said he will open discussions with president‑elect Rodrigo Paz Pereira on the feasibility and type of event Bolivia could organize.
- Host selection for FIFA tournaments is determined by a vote of more than 200 member associations, so presidential backing alone does not secure hosting rights.
- The pledge stirred excitement across Bolivia, where optimism has grown after the national team qualified for the 2026 intercontinental playoff.
