When I chick the Fifa website I found that 11 country have made official bids to host the world cup in 2018 or 2022.
This country were Qatar, England, Russia, Australia, the USA, Japan, Mexico, Indonesia and joint bids from Portugal-Spain, Netherlands-Belgium and South Korea
If we want to know what chances does these country have we should take a closer look to the selection process,
Applicants must next submit their bidding agreements by 11 December 2009, with Fifa’s 24-man executive committee choosing the winning candidates in December 2010.
Countries who fail to land the 2018 World Cup able to automatically be a candidate for the 2022 World Cup, provided that the 2018 host is not from the same continent as them.
Successful hosts must meet certain conditions if they are to win the right to stage the World Cup, providing at least 12 stadiums with minimum capacities of 40,000, with the final to be held in a stadium with a capacity of at least 80,000.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter said: “As long as we have single-country bids which provide all the necessary guarantees, we will reject co-hosting bids.”
With South Africa and Brazil to host the 2010 and 2014 competitions respectively, Fifa has said no African countries can bid for the 2018 showpiece while South America must wait until 2026 for the chance to bid again.
However, if there is a good chance that the World Cup will come to the Middle East in the future, then Qatar have a better chance to has it.
