The Football Associations (Wales, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland & Scotland) and government partners of the UK and Ireland are delighted that the UK Government has committed to support a prospective five-association bid for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

The FA's will continue to undertake feasibility work to assess the viability of a bid before FIFA formally open the process in 2022.

Staging a FIFA World Cup would provide an incredible opportunity to deliver tangible benefits for our nations.

If a decision is made to bid for the event, the FA's look forward to presenting our hosting proposals to FIFA and the wider global football community.

And there’s an announcement expected in the budget this week I believe as well regarding this.
