The campaign to bring the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ to England is underway. The Bid Book will be submitted in May 2010, after which FIFA will assess the bids, before making a decision in December 2010.

FIFA has invited bidding countries to bid for either the 2018 or the 2022 Finals, or both. England has decided to bid for both, with the focus on winning the privilege to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup™.

A dedicated company, England 2018, has been formed to lead England’s Bid. England 2018 is positive the country can stage a fantastic festival of football to engage the whole country – and deliver positive change for football in England and across the world.
