World Cup 2018 bids may be restricted to Europe
|
|
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said yesterday that a deal is being discussed where only European nations would bid to host the 2018 World Cup.
Blatter said he had talked over the deal proposal with Michel Platini, president of UEFA, European football’s governing body. Russia, England, Spain-Portugal and Netherlands-Belgium are the four European bids to stage either the 2018 or 2022 event. Australia, Japan and United States have also bid for either 2018 for 2022 and South Korea, Indonesia and Qatar have all applied to host the 2022 World Cup only. "There is a movement at the moment among the various candidates that in the end it would be a good solution ... if the candidates for 2018 would only be those from Europe," Blatter said, as quoted by Reuters. "It's not been finally decided but it's the idea, also to make the work of FIFA easier and especially that of the executive committee. It would also possibly make the work of the different organisations applying for the World Cup easier." FIFA will announce which nations will host both tournaments in December. |
