England is bidding to host the FIFA World Cup™ in either 2018 or 2022. The Bid Book, detailing the full technical elements of England’s Bid, was presented to FIFA in mid May. A FIFA delegation will then travel to England later this summer on an inspection visit. England 2018 delegation has been travelling to meet with FIFA Executive Committee members whose votes will ultimately decide which country will win the right to host the tournament. In recent months, the campaign team has travelled across the world including visits to Argentina, Tahiti, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and the Ivory Coast. The commercial viability of England’s Bid continues to strengthen with major brands adding their backing to the campaign. BT, British Airways, PWC, Morrisons, npower, Jaguar Land Rover G4S, Paul Smith and Thomas Cook are among the many companies who are providing integral funding and support to England’s Bid. Key figures from sport, entertainment, government and business have also demonstrated their support for the Bid, including England Team Head Coach and Bid Vice-President Fabio Capello. “This is an opportunity to offer England’s future players the chance to represent their country in front of their own fans,” said Capello. “As national coach I know what an exciting prospect that is. My prime responsibility is to build a national team that will compete at the highest level, but if I can also help to strengthen England’s claims to stage the World Cup tournament I shall consider it a tremendous honour.” , Bid Vice President, added: “To have the World Cup in your own country is the dream of any player. I know firsthand the passion of our fans and they would provide an incredible atmosphere at every game. A World Cup in England would inspire a generation of younger players and capture the imagination of everyone.” England will find out whether their bid has been successful in December.
