As can be seen from the above, since 1966, it has been held every other time in European countries, and it was not held for the first time in Asia until 2002. However, from the beginning of this session, Blatter said that major countries should hold it in turn, so that Asia should have a chance in 2026. However, Australia has started to bid for the 20 18 World Cup, but China has made no progress, as follows:
The 20 10 World Cup is held in South Africa, so the right to host the 20 14 World Cup will definitely go to the United States. As for the right to host the 20 18 World Cup, although Blatter said that the host rotation system will be abolished after 20 14, the Asian country themoon is still very likely to win the championship. Australia is the best time to attack at this time. Australia is the host country of the 2000 Olympic Games, with world-class software and hardware conditions, and Australia has also become a member of the AFC. By joining Asia, Australia can not only successfully win the World Cup qualifying rights, but also possibly win the right to host the World Cup. The clever Australians finally showed their ambition.
It is worth mentioning that China has been calling for bidding for the 20 18 World Cup. Especially after the World Cup, some people in football, including Zhang Jilong, have made positive comments, but there is still no official response. At this point, Australia has quietly walked in front of China.
China has great advantages in bidding for the World Cup.
Although China Football Association officials think that the bid is groundless, many professionals believe that China has great advantages in bidding for the World Cup.
Yi Jiandong, a professor of Media Department of Beijing Sport University and a sports culture scholar, believes that if China can host the World Cup after the 2008 Olympic Games, it will play an inestimable role in the development of the whole China society. He also listed four possibilities for China to host the World Cup:
First, the early 2 1 century was a period of accelerated economic development in China, and the 2008 Olympic Games will be held there. There is no doubt about the sustainable development of China's economy, which is also an excellent booster for our bid to host the 20 18 World Cup. FIFA has always been nice to China Football Association, because they are very optimistic about the China market. China, with its booming economy, is definitely the most potential market that FIFA and many World Cup merchants are ready to explore.
Secondly, for the 2008 Olympic Games, many stadiums and sports facilities were built in each participating place, and football matches were held in four cities. After the Olympic Games, how to use these venues is a problem that needs to be solved. As a way to continue the competition, hosting the World Cup will not waste human resources and venues from an economic point of view.
Third, compared with the Olympic Games, the World Cup will bring greater economic benefits. For example, Germany's TV broadcasting rights earned more than $2 billion, while Beijing Olympic Games' TV broadcasting rights earned nearly $654.38+08 billion. For advertisers, the commercial advantages of the World Cup are obvious, because the World Cup has a wide range of radiation to cities. Generally, the World Cup is held in 8- 13 cities. From this point of view, the World Cup is better than the Olympic Games.
Fourthly, after 2008, China has hosted all major international events except the Winter Olympics, which is the most powerful explanation for China to host the 20 18 World Cup.
In addition to the four advantages mentioned by mr. yi, the system of "holding the World Cup by turns" clearly stipulated in FIFA rules is also very beneficial to China's bid. According to this regulation, the World Cup will be held in Europe, Africa, America, Oceania and Asian countries in turn. As Australia in Oceania joined the AFC last year, it may also shorten the time for Asian countries to bid for the World Cup by four years.
According to the regulations of FIFA, the submission of the bid report for the 20 18 World Cup will be closed on 20 10, and FIFA will vote for the host city in 20 12.
