“It’s doing justice,” Domínguez said, “to recognize two people (Pelé and Maradona) who have done a lot for football. With them, there was a before and after. Doing justice means remembering them so they can always live.”
As for the World Cup 2030the South American leader said that “there will always be an opportunity for other countries from 2030, when they celebrate 100 years. Because 100 years come only once and that time has to be in South America,” he stressed.
Domínguez insisted that “the possibility that Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay be the headquarters of the World Cup 2030.
“We have one of four of these countries, such as Argentina, playing the semifinals and this shows that South American football is here to compete and that they want to propose taking the Cup to home. We will fight until the end,” said the manager.
