[FM24] World Cup hosts 2030-34

[themodelcitizen]

With international management off the table for FM25, at least in the first release, I'm getting some last projects done for FM24 so we can enjoy it a bit longer.

This sets the 2030 World Cup to be in Spain/Portugal/Morocco, with the opening games in South America as planned. 2034 is then in Saudi Arabia before the default semi-random rotation takes over (I've seen Turkiye and Indonesia/Malaysia in previous sims, which is a nice touch from SI to add new random hosts this year).

Can we just edit the list of random hosts, or is it a combination of future planning for a few editions and after that the same random hosts over and over again?

[themodelcitizen]

The normal semi-random list takes over here after 2034, but I think it has some hard-coding under the hood which we can't get at. Same as the Euros, I think the rules say it will select from medium or large nations or something like that, but it can also come up with like Indonesia/Malaysia for the WC and Holland/Belgium for the Euros on its own

I should add that the "maximum number of hosts" box might just apply to the automatic selection, if you dropped that to "1" it might rule out the co-hosting jobs that I noted above. Doesn't stop you from exceeding that number with a manual selection of hosts though. I wonder if you bumped it up to "3" if it would do options like Can/Mex/US again, or if that would break CONCACAF qualifying (not sure if it's a special format for the 2026 cycle without checking)

This one's probably not worth yet another new thread for but here's a similar file for the Asian Cup, just setting 2027 at the planned stadiums in Saudi Arabia instead of it being an open bidding process (that should kick in for the next one in 2031)
