quote:

Kazakhstan have announced that they are considering making a bid to host the 2026 World Cup.

The oil-rich country is already bidding against Beijing to host the 2022 Winter Olympics in Almaty and is now in discussions over a possible bid for the World Cup four years later.

Kazakhstan FA president Yerlan Kozhagapanov is quoted in French newspaper L'Equipe as saying: "We are discussing this issue with the government of my country to assess what are our chances.

"Our country is developing rapidly, our economy is growing, so why not? We want to organise the winter Games in 2022, and we plan to engage in the race for the organisation of the World Cup 2026."

Why doesn't any news org ever ask the obvious? Kazakhstan can't host until 2034, no one in Asia can.

Not that it makes much of a difference to your point but Kazakhstan are laughably enough, in UEFA.

The pool of countries who are willing or able to give FIFA the kind of poo poo they want is dwindling into an ever smaller number of petro-States and dictatorships, the continent rule will be hand waved away just like any other 'rule' that has threatened to slow down Sepp and Co getting dirty money.

Doesn't that mean they still can't host until 2030 because Russia are also in UEFA?

Doesn't this still only allow them 2030 at the earliest? (edit; lol at post above me)

Not that a few lousy rules have ever stood in the way of bribes.

They'll get this sewn up before he dies. That way he can get Kazakhstan to fund his ten million dollar funeral and line his coffin with 100 dollar bills.

You shouldn't be able to host a world cup if you've never qualified for one IMO

If minor things like being so hot players will literally die won't sink your bid than something forgettable like being in the wrong confederation won't.

I'm gonna watch the world cup because come on it's the world cup and even if it's held in an oppressive medieval kingdom and built on the backs of literal slaves and moved to Christmas, it'll still be pretty good probably, but I'm gonna complain about it on the Internet all the way.

I don't have any love for FIFA either but I feel that possibly "human rights" is a made up meaningless term. Anyway someone needs to find or fake an audio recording of Blatter saying something bad about gay marriage and the twitter folks will have his head on a platter in under a day.
