It is said today that England is ready to apply for the 2030 World Cup, so when will China hold the world cup? It is estimated that this is a hot topic that many people pay more attention to. The last big intercontinental event in England was the European Championship in 1996, and 52 years have passed since England last hosted the world cup (1966).
The chairman of the FA, Greg Clarke, said the FA's board of directors had agreed to work to see if the bidding was feasible. 'the work will take place in the new season and a decision will not be made until 2019. Clark added.
It should be noted that the Wembley Stadium in London will host seven games during the European Cup in 2020. At the same time, the FA is also working hard at the 2021 European women's football championships. England have previously tried to bid for the just concluded 2018 World Cup, but failed.
According to the BBC, England is actually resentful of the process. However, it is reported that as the vote of the United States, Canada and Mexico to jointly bid for the 2026 world cup becomes more and more transparent, the FA is also confident in bidding for the 2030 World Cup.
It is reported that the FA will now decide whether to become a potential candidate of UEFA. FIFA Vice President David Gill also said in June that England should have 'great confidence'. However, three South American countries, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, are expected to have a stronger desire to bid for the 2030 World Cup. It should also be noted that 2030 will be the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup in Uruguay.
