U.S. to bid for 2018 and 2022 World Cups
U.S. Soccer will join the race to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup, federation president Sunil Gulati said on Thursday.
U.S. soccer will unveil its plans on Monday, the deadline for associations to submit official paperwork expressing an intention to bid.
FIFA said this week it already had six proposals on the table — Indonesia, England, Japan, Qatar, Russia and a joint application from Spain and Portugal — and several other association have said they will join the process.
Don’t see the United States being awarded the 2018 World Cup on the heels of South America playing host to the 2014 World Cup which are being held in Brazil. By that time Europe or Asia is the most unlikely destination when hosting rights are awarded for 2018. Come 2022 however the USA could make a strong push for on the heels of the excellence job done during the 1994 World Cup.
