England 2006 FIFA World Cup bid England 2006 FIFA World Cup bid The England 2006 FIFA World Cup bid was the Football Association's unsuccessful bid for the right to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The other official bids came from Brazil, South Africa, Morocco and successful bidder Germany. England hosted the 1966 FIFA World Cup and had the campaign been successful, England would have become the fourth nation to host the World Cup for a second time. The country had also hosted Euro 96. England had unsuccessfully attempted to host the 1990 FIFA World Cup and 1998 FIFA World Cup. Amongst the bid submission delegation
Australia 2022 FIFA World Cup bid by Frank Lowy, Ben Buckley, Quentin Bryce and Elle Macpherson. However, due to controversies of Qatar hosting, Australia's bid is possible if FIFA decides to strip Qatar's 2022 hosting rights. Football Federation Australia first confirmed in November 2007 that Australia would bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup. After FIFA in December 2008 announced they would be accepting bids for both the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup, Australia, in February 2009, registered their intention to bid with FIFA for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The bid was officially launched on 14 June 2009 at Parliament House in Canberra.
