[quote=DREAMLIFE,402094]Yesterday, Hamann, the president of AFC (Asia Football Confederation), came to China and had a talk with Wei Di, the president of China Football Association. According to him, currently four nations including Qatar, Japan, South Korea and Australia are competing for bidding 2022 World Cup. If one of the nations succeeds, Asia will wait for another 16 years to hold the World Cup again. In this case, it will not be a good idea for China to hold 2026 World Cup.

"Of course, if all of the four nations failed to bid 2022 World Cup, I would support all Asian countries to bid for 2026 World Cup. And I hope that China can succeed." Hamann said.

Let’s look at those four Asian countries--- Qatar, Japan, South Korea and Australia. Japan and South Korea once held 2002 World Cup. It is not likely that the FIFA will let them hold the World Cup again (my guess). Australia is said to bribe some officials of the FIFA. Now FIFA is investigating this matter. Qatar has little chance to hold the World Cup. And China has given up to bid for 2022 World Cup.

Thus, I guess that 2022 World Cup might not be held in Asia. China might succeed in holding 2026 World Cup. You see, the FIFA hopes that China can bid for 2026 World Cup and China is also willing to hold the World Cup.
