The English FA have announced that they would be interested in bidding for the 2018 Football World Cup Finals following the sucessful Olympic bid by London for the 2012 games.
The FIFA WorldCup, sometimes called the football WorldCup or the soccer WorldCup, but usually referred to simply as the WorldCup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national football teams of member nations of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's global governing body).
The decision to hold the second of these, the 1938 FIFA WorldCup, in France was controversial, as the American countries had been led to understand that the WorldCup would rotate between the two continents.
The 2002 FIFA WorldCup (hosted jointly by Japan and Korea) was the first one held in Asia, and in 2010, South Africa will become the first African nation to host the WorldCup.
The WorldCup in 2018 could return to Asia, which has hosted the tournament once before (South Korea and Japan in 2002), or Europe (Germany hosted in 2006).
Unlike the 2002 FIFA WorldCup in South Korea and Japan, there will be no transportation problems because there is an open border between the two countries, and no body of water separating them.
