Uruguay and Argentina are set to use the 2011 America Cup to promote their credibility for the 2030 World Cup.

On July 1930 the first World Cup was organised and played in Montevideo with Uruguay beating Argentina in the final 4-2, thus also becoming the first country to win the Cup, sources said.

Argentine Sports minister Claudio Morresi visited Montevideo over the weekend to begin coordination activities with his Uruguayan counterparts from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports headed by Hector Lescano.

"In the round of meetings we have planned, we will draft a road map with the main strategic lines for the joint promotion of 2030, during the Americas Cup and we hope presidents Cristina Fernandez and Jose Mujica will be participating", said Minister Lescano.
