It has not been decided yet.... Here is the news....

The deadline for bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups is February 2 this year. At present, Qatar and England have officially submitted applications, and Japan, Australia, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, the United States, Canada, Mexico and other countries are also actively preparing and may submit bids to FIFA in the near future.

FIFA made a resolution at the end of last year: the right to host the two World Cups will be determined in December 2009 at the same time. All countries and regions applying to host the World Cup must submit a written submission before February 2. Make a formal application. Once this regulation comes out, it means that if you miss these two sessions, you will have to wait until at least 2026 to hold it again. Currently, Europe is determined to host the 2018 World Cup. The first European countries to submit bids were Spain and Portugal, and hoped to jointly host the event; the Netherlands and Belgium also announced that they would jointly bid. In 2000, Belgium and Netherlands successfully hosted the European Cup together. Russia is also actively considering a bid. Now England has joined the team, making the European bid team stronger than ever.

According to FIFA's exclusivity principle, South America, where the 2014 World Cup was held in Brazil, and Africa, where the 2010 World Cup was held in South Africa, will not have the right to host the 2018 World Cup. According to a letter written by FIFA Secretary General Valcke to the football associations, the continent where the host country of the 2018 World Cup is located does not have the right to host the 2022 World Cup. In this way, Europe, Asia and North America will be the choices in 2018 and 2022. With Europe's strong lineup and determination to win, the 2018 World Cup is almost within reach.

It is very likely that the 2022 World Cup will be hosted by Asia and North America. However, football is a "pioneering project" in North America. According to FIFA, the Asian market is still better than North America, and the possibility of winning is greater. At present, in Asia, Qatar has officially submitted a bid, while Japan, Indonesia and Australia have publicly expressed their intention to bid.

On January 18, Japan Football Association Chairman Motoaki Inugai said: "The Japan Football Association has decided to apply to FIFA to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, but the prerequisite must be that Japan wins the hosting of the 2016 Olympic Games. If it fails, then Tokyo will not be able to host the World Cup in a real sense in terms of hardware. "FIFA stipulates that any host country must have 12 stadiums with more than 40,000 seats, and the opening and final stadiums must have more than 80,000 people. , and has corresponding auxiliary facilities for communication, transportation, and accommodation. So far, no stadium in Japan has met the requirements for the opening ceremony and finals. It can only use the Olympic Stadium and the rebuilt Tokyo National Stadium to host the World Cup. Therefore, whether the event can be successfully held depends first on whether the International Olympic Committee decides in October this year to let Japan host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Indonesia publicly stated yesterday that it will participate in the competition to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. The Indonesian team is currently ranked 144th in FIFA, 40 places lower than the Chinese team. It has never participated in the World Cup in history.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd also announced his support for the Australian Football Association’s bid to host the 2018 World Cup
