It is being widely reported by foxsports.com.au that Australia's bid to host the 2018 World Cup finals has been handed a massive blow by FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, who has indicated that European bid alone should be considered.
The reports quotes Blatter as saying that -It's not been finally decided but it's the idea, also to make the work of FIFA easier and especially that of the executive committee.”
Blatter was speaking to a media conference in Madrid that a plan to take the 2018 World Cup finals to Europe was being considered, despite Australia’s bid for the 2018 tournament.
"From what I've discussed with the president of UEFA, Michel Platini, in the last few days in Moscow is that only a European candidate will be evaluated for the 2018 World Cup," Blatter said.
