The 2018 Football World Cup will be the 21st edition of the FIFA World Cup. Bidding to host the 2018 World Cup will close in 2010. Despite expectations to the contrary, FIFA will not necessarily continue with their policy of rotating the right to host the World Cup amongst the different confederations. This policy would have seen the 2018 World Cup being held in either North America (CONCACAF) or Oceania (OFC). However, in an interview with The Sun-Herald the head of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, said:
"The World Cup is a very serious matter. There will be good contenders for 2018. The rotation system only goes until 2014. The rotation was a political decision to ensure the World Cup went to Africa, otherwise Africa would never have it.
Countries that have announced their interest include Australia England,Mexico, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg (joint bid

i think that FIFA should give the chance to any country who didnt host the world cup before ..or may be didnt win the world cup before so that they would gain people attention..i think it was great to give Africa a try in 2010

I think Mexico will be the host. I am from the Concacaf section so i really wish they get it, i think they will to. Europe will not get it so Netherlands, Belg and Lux port and spain will not get it. Only England stands a chance from Europe. They also are hosting an Olympics so that will come into consideration. Australia also stands a huge chance cuz they never hosted one so this could be their time to shine. I still think Mexico are gonna get it. Whats ur opinion?

I agree with FIFA, the rotation system was a stupid idea. Imagine Europe hosting the World Cup only in each 24 years! (I'm not European, by the way). CONCACAF would always be only 2 contenders (Mexico and US) and Oceania is Australia + 0. I think FIFA should make sure that a World Cup would not go 2 times in a row to the same continent, besides that there should be no rules.

i think Canada would be a good choice. Reasons are.
1) it's in CONCACAF
2) USA is not going to let so many people in their country.
3) They don't have any high altitude stadiums like Mexico
4) Canadians are generally well behaved and friendly.
5) They never hosted it before.
6) They will finally qualify for a World Cup by default.
7) Bored with Europe.
8) Oceania can't begin to host a tournamant of that magnitude
9) The only Asian country that could host is Austrailia and i don't want them to host it. When the Olympics was there it sucked. I had bags under my eyes from staying up so late to watch those games. Don't want any other Asian country to host because: Korea/ Japan sucked
10) they can do it if they start preparations from now.
Just for fun... wouldn't it be great if the Caribbean hosted it. And they played the games in Stadiums in Trinidad, Jamaica and Cuba. And to solve the qualification problem just give CONCACF an extra spot, who ever finishes first in the Caribbean gets it. I know this is wishful thinking but it's a fun thought for me.

It defeinity Should Stay in Europe of Asia because of the majority of Coutries in The Cup are In Both Contientents . I would like to see it in England , The Fathers Of Football / soccer . It would be interesting to see the amount of fans that come ( Probably Millions) .
