Chile hosted the World Cup in 1962, while the tournament was held in Argentina in 1978.
"It's right for the World Cup to be hosted where it all began, 100 years later," said Ignacio Alonso, Uruguayan president
The 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar while Canada, Mexico and the USA will be joint hosts in 2026.
