![]() | This week, FIFA will have a meeting in Switzerland to discuss 2018 and 2022 World Cup issues. And FIFA will issue a new rule: the country (countries) who host World Cup need to play the qualifying matches from now on. In the past, the host country or countries can directly advance to the finals of the World Cup. This rule is not good for those countries who intend to host the World Cup but have low football level. Based on this rule, China is unlikely to bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup because China’s national men’s team has very rare chance to advance to the finals of the World Cup if it plays the qualifying matches. . It is said that the acting committee of FIFA has already set the deadline for bidding 2018 and 2022 World Cup and Belgium and Netherlands have filed their application to co-host the 2018 World Cup to FIFA. |

![]() | Alan, do you agree to cancel the host country's privilege? If FIFA adopts this rule, China will never get the chance to host the World Cup because they are incapable of surving the qualifying matches. |
