I was just watching a video about who would make great hosts for future years and they mention that Europe, Africa and South America can't host again until 2042, Asia 2046...so...us again in 2038? Or is Infantino hoping Lil Hitler will have stadia on Mars by then that can host the new Universe Cup?

First off, RIP to you for having to sit through the rambling mess that is an HITC Sevens video.

2030 is slated to be held in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco with a single game to be held in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay each. It's a move that was a officially a concession to celebrate the 100th year of the World Cup but was really a way to clear 2034 for Saudi Arabia.

Given FIFA's requirement of at least 16 different stadiums of 45k capacity and the current Confederation rotation policy, really only the US can realistically host in 2038 as UEFA, CONMEBOL, Africa, and Asia would be barred from bidding. Oceania could bid but there's no realistic way for any of them to host (New Zealand doesn't have a stadium with the 80k capacity to host the final, let alone enough stadiums).

Honestly, given the requirements, there's very few countries that could host alone. Even dual joint bids might not work, for example England would require stadiums in Scotland and Wales to help and even Germany and France would likely need help.
 
Saw Morocco is going to build a 115k stadium in Casablanca to try to get the final in 2030. Camp Nou or Bernabéu would be the likely hosts otherwise.
