Is the bid for the 2018 World Cup open?

No final results yet. The results will be produced in December of this year. But there should be no suspense that 2018 will be held in Europe.

One piece of news is: On April 26, FIFA President Seppat revealed some of FIFA's plans for the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup hosts: "The 2018 World Cup belongs to Europe, and the 2022 World Cup belongs to Asia. ”

On May 5, the Portuguese Football Federation and the Spanish Football Federation officially signed an agreement to jointly bid for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, which is one of the popular candidates for the 2018 World Cup.

On the same day, Belgian Prime Minister Letem held talks with the President of the African Football Confederation, Issa Haiatu, to canvass votes for Belgium and the Netherlands to jointly bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.

Also on the same day, the "Daily Mail" revealed: FIFA President Sepp Blatter admitted that he believes England can host the 2018 World Cup. However, he pointed out that Russia also has a good chance of winning the right to host this World Cup, and Russia will be the biggest threat to England's bid to host this World Cup.

On May 4, the Japan Football Association decided to withdraw from the bid to host the 2018 World Cup and will concentrate on the right to host the 2022 tournament.

The 24-member FIFA Executive Board will vote in December to decide the host country for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.

Previously, China, England and Russia officially stated that they wanted to bid for the 2018 World Cup, and the United States unofficially stated that they wanted to bid for the 2018 World Cup, bringing the total to four. It can be said that the competition is still very fierce. At present, the most active should be England and Russia, both of which have begun to call on the public to support the bid, and the United States has not moved too much.

China, because of the Olympic Games, the discussion of bidding for the World Cup is estimated to be postponed to the end of 08 or early 09. These four countries also have their own characteristics, and it is not impossible for China to succeed in its bid. Because during the Women's World Cup, the enthusiasm shown by Chinese fans made Blatter excited, so he also strongly encouraged the Chinese Football Association to bid for it.

Coupled with the 2008 Olympic Games, China's venue construction has also taken on a new look and reached international standards, so it is not a fantasy for China, which has the ability to host the Olympic Games, to host the World Cup. Of course, the level of the Chinese men's football team has become the biggest obstacle to China's bid, and because Chinese football has not been able to make a breakthrough for a long time, this also makes the majority of fans have a feeling of hating iron but not steel. Previously, in a survey by Sohu, there were not a few fans who did not support China's bid, and the reason was that the level of the Chinese men's football team was not enough for the World Cup.

In addition, among the other three countries, Russia, which is China's immediate neighbor, is also a big rival for China's bid. Although Russia's level is only second-rate in Europe, it is much stronger than China's. Coupled with the enthusiasm of the whole people, it is very possible that the bid will be successful.

England, as a traditional football powerhouse, also has great hopes for bidding, but Blatter's current intention is to improve the level of football in less developed areas and the enthusiasm of fans, so the mature England is not favored. The United States, on the other hand, only raised its intentions and did not respond positively, so FIFA did not recognize it very much.
