Spain and Portugal's 2018 World Cup hopes have been boosted by the news that South America's Conmebol federation has come out in support of the joint Iberian bid.
"The 10 countries are agreed to give the vote to Spain," said Conmebol's general secretary Eduardo Deluca.
That translates into three votes for the Spain-Portugal bid on December 2 with Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina represented on Fifa's executive committee.
Conmebol had been expected to vote for Spain-Portugal.
The Conmebol meeting, held in the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion, did not discuss which country it will support for the 2022 finals, which will also be voted on at Fifa's Zurich headquarters on December 2.
Earlier this week, the Spain-Portugal chief executive Miguel Angel Lopez claimed the Iberian bid had already secured as many as eight of the 22 Fifa votes.
