In Zurich, the International Federation shall determine the locations of the forthcoming World Championships. Spain-Portugal, England and Russia favored for 2018. Hypothesis Japan, South Korea and Australia for 2022
ZURICH - And come forward to make a decision. Tomorrow will designate the locations of the Fifa World Cup 2018 and 2022. In Zurich, in front of the highest offices of the football world, the Executive Board of the International Football Association will complete the process of double allocation. President Joseph Blatter will store a practice that in recent weeks is quite complicated. Everyone will remember the Sunday Times that investigations have revealed the deficiencies of the two members of FIFA, the Nigerian Amos Adamu and Tahitian Reynald Temari, accused of having sold their votes in the world. The two managers were suspended and tomorrow will not be able to vote. Will instead be present and ready to vote Ricardo Teixeira, Nicolas Leoz and Issa Hayatou, according to the BBC, had received money from Isl, a company that managed the World Cup TV rights.
APPLICATIONS - According to a report released by Fifa two weeks ago, it was not easy to find a favorite. As for the edition of 2018, the nominations of Spain-Portugal, England and Russia are in pole position than that of Netherlands-Belgium, judged 'medium risk'. Spain-Portugal-Belgium and the Netherlands would have no problems as regards the economic aspect, but must deal with the skepticism that accompanies the applications when it comes to joint the World Cup. England is the ideal market for sponsorships in the world, and would have a absolute success with regard to the sale of TV rights, the problem concerns the requirements for training camps and offer hospitality. Russia is not convincing from the point of the TV. It would be quite complicated to sell a tournament spread over different time zones.
EDITION 2022 - In the race we have Japan, South Korea and Australia. These projects would provide a substantial business growth in Asia and Oceania, but the public would be reduced compared to the European television standard. In the second row are the candidates of the United States and Qatar. The first would seem to suffer from a limited public engagement, while the latter would certainly be a major advantage in economic terms. The main problem is the climate of Qatar. Fifa inspectors, the U.S. reminding '94, are wondering about the danger that we would play in competitions with very high temperatures.
