England are seriously considering a bid for the 2030 World Cup but almost certainly with the other home nations and possibly The Republic! https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/england-keen-to-host-2030-world-cup-859384.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/england-keen-to-host-2030-world-cup-859384.html https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/soccer/british-government-ready-to-discuss-bid-to-host-2030-football-world-cup-855646.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/soccer/british-government-ready-to-discuss-bid-to-host-2030-football-world-cup-855646.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/08/01/england-moves-step-closer-hosting-2030-world-cup-distances-2022/" rel="nofollow - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/08/01/england-moves-step-closer-hosting-2030-world-cup-distances-2022/ https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2018/0801/982494-english-fa-consider-world-cup-2030-bid/" rel="nofollow - https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2018/0801/982494-english-fa-consider-world-cup-2030-bid/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/07/16/now-perfect-moment-england-bid-host-world-cup-2030/" rel="nofollow - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/07/16/now-perfect-moment-england-bid-host-world-cup-2030/ https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/716765/England-football-world-cup-2030-Theresa-May-Downing-Street" rel="nofollow - https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/716765/England-football-world-cup-2030-Theresa-May-Downing-Street Even Blatter has suggested it could be a runner, not that it's a plus! https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/ireland-and-uk-could-host-2030-world-cup-says-sepp-blatter-850030.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/ireland-and-uk-could-host-2030-world-cup-says-sepp-blatter-850030.html We should get JD on the case, we have 2 decent stadiums (if we get Croker!) and a United Ireland Team could represent the island!

There are very few countries on their own who could host a 48 team tournament and I presume once 48 teams are established as the qualifier total, there will be no going back to 32 or 40!

Ok I'll bite ....There was not one mention of Ireland in any of those articles and Ireland would not have the infrastructure, knowhow or facilities to even host a group in the WC. Last time we tried to get involved ( the IRFU) we were made look like a bunch of complete lightweights and were rightly put back in our box for having a sh1tty amateur, half baked solution ....what makes anyone think Ireland could help out here? ....delusions of grandeur I am afraid .....much and all as it would be great for the country ....it aint a runner.

Ahh in fairness we could do one group, it’s only 4 games now as each group only has 3 teams. LR and some redeveloped/new stadium in Belfast. I doubt Norn Iron could have 2 stadiums available so they would have to share it with the Rep. Even if “Ireland” were given two groups, 8 games, you could have LR, Pairc Ui Chaoimh and Belfast. Spread those matches over 7/8 days, no problem with hotel rooms etc. Somehow doubt the Rep would be included though, I’d imagine Eng/Scot/Wal and maybe a token game or two in Belfast. |

The Pairc is nowhere near the standard to host a international tournament. Its has 21k seats and even the rugby lads thought it was sub-standard in the RWC bid. ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

The last one was in 1984. NI are still the reigning champions. I know a couple of Bohs fans who were on the bus to the England game at Windsor in 1983. It was run by a NI fan who still lives in Dublin. There were regular trains up to games in the 1960's from Dubin. As for the World cup bid. I don't think we'd be included. However there is no stadium in Belfast with 30K+ seats. That is still the minimum requirement for a game. England could of course host it alone but I imagine would include Scotland and Wales. I think the centenary should go back to Uruguay anyway but the finances of a UK bid would be very attractive to FIFA.

English FA will probably need the FAI in the voting process also, never mind the tournament itself. There's Nations out there who are bitter the fact England/Wales/NI/Scotland have their own independent FA's rather than a single FA so the FAI will be used to reach out to those.

There aren't. Some RoI fans on a chatboard # nations out there. But humor me and name one or two of these nations.
Bit of a self contradiction surely? Where the "nations out there" might be annoyed is if 4 or 5 teams (including RoI) co-host and thus pre-qualify, leaving fewer places for everyone else in Europe. As frequently above, England can stage the tournament single-handed. Any games staged in Glasgow, Cardiff or Ireland are problematic. A way round it would be Wales and Scotland still having to qualify and NI getting a consolation prize (say a senior women or u21 men finals

The only reason England need anyone at all is to shore up votes from FA's they might not have great relationships with, they would probably hope Ire/NI/Sco/Wal could help persuade some of those to vote that way. It certainly isn't lack of stadia or infrastructure. Uefa certainly won't allow 5 to qualify as hosts either, as others have pointed out. Think this is more a hopeful punt at a debt reduction strategy by the FAI more than anything else. There won't be a GAA element involved either for this very reason, although that won't stop articles speculating about Croke Park, Salthill, PUC or whatever yer having yerself. I'd imagine that in FAI land, they would see this gig as Lansdowne only, and already have the Europa league final from a few years ago to back it up. They will also have the Euro 2020 behind them by the time the bid gets serious (or not). As the Nordies have not got a suitable venue as yet, we can presume they are only included as it would have looked poor of England to leave them out. Maybe they could play games at a refurbished Casement Park, that would go down well with the Windsor brigade........ ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Disagree. Why would including Scotland, Wales and NI in an English bid attract any support from other FIFA members- even before you factor in the possibility of that bid getting 4 automatic qualifying places? As per your second point. The politicking is likely to be WITHIN Britain, to aim for nationwide support for the bid- and maybe broadly the Government.
Current capacities: Windsor 18,000 seats Casement 0 seats (which may not change- local objections remain and Ulster GAA aren't that bothered about a big new stadium in Belfast) If the British bid is a goer, it's as likely that either a) they'll bend the rules so that a slightly expanded Windsor is allowed in with say 25,000 seats, or b) NI/ the IFA will get a consolation prize of say a women's or men's youth tournament As for the politicking in South America: Paraguay is a large, poor country with limited infrastructure. Uruguay's domestic football is almost exclusively in the capital. Those two with Argentina may simply be unable to run the thing, which clearly increases England/ Britain's chances. |

That would actually be an amazing tournament.

That is nonsense. You simply position the photographers in the first few rows of seats or, alternatively, you take the seats out for the duration of the tournament. It is not difficult to do. They took a heap of seats out to put in wheelchair areas over the last few years, to comply with new regulations. It can be done relatively easily. -------------

| Think there are too many voiced in this bid. 5 associations is just too much. There would hardly be 5 automatic qualifiers would there? Or would if be an England tournament and they get the spot but will also use like 2 stadia in Scotland, 1 in Wales, 1 in NI and 2 in Ireland. And then just if we also qualify on our own merit then we would get home matches? Similar to past rugby World cups |

All 2030 bids are going to be joint bids so there's expected to be no automatic qualifications for this one. South American nations of Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile Joint African bid of Morocco with Algeria and Tunisia Spain and Portugal Scandanavian joint bid of Norway, Sweden and Denmark and finally the baltic joint bid of Romania, Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia. I'd imagine the South American nations are the firm favourites with it being 100 years since the first WC in Uruguay.

| Suppose if it is all similar type joint bids then we may as well through our hats in. The last south america tournament had a lot of issues |

It’s an English bid and they are throwing some group games/2nd rounds to Scotland / Wales / NI and Rep of Ireland. It does seem too many nations. Keep it simple : England & Scotland for example. ------------- |

I would think if England bail UEFA out for the Euros. This would be a big boost to their chances of hosting 2030

Yer that's my take on it also . Still by the time that comes around i am sure FIFA will have 96 Countries in the finals . ------------- Lansdowne Road debut aged 52 and 201 days . |

| Yeah I don't see why the North is included and that just harms the bid. This is probably are only chance of qualifying for a WC too so while SA probably gets it I really hope we do. |

What capacity is Windsor Park? Surely its below the 40,000 all seater lever required. Casement park might be done by the then.

Well below that minimum - only 18k - and its only recently been refurbished. So that's surely a non-runner. Casement could be done by then but not sure what the capacity will be. Even so, we're left sweating on the GAA to agree to make it (and other gaelic venues) available for the tournament...in the middle of the championship season.

It would be terribly sad if that happened. However, I still think they could bid for a WC. Don't forget, France held a WC and EC within 20 years of each other. While America will have had the WC (albeit shared in 2026) on two occasions in just over 30 years. I think England suffer more from the internal politics of selection.

We bring 2 world class stadiums to the table. They have nothing to offer, none of their stadia meet the criteria ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

| Be very interesting the 100th anniversary because it they give it to South American bid because of that Italy will want 2034 and so on they might make the decision no anniversaries. |

Croke Park isn’t ours, realistically the FAI bring very little to the table and truth be told we shouldn’t be near this bid. It’s a complete wasn’t of time, effort & money that could all be much better invested in our structures. Same old FAI |
