Women's
World Cup host Australia eyes men's version in 2034
Australia is interested in holding
the men's World Cup in 2034, football's governing body in the country said
Friday, as it looks to build off the momentum of hosting the women's version.
Football Australia is keen to use the experience of staging the biggest-ever
Women's World Cup, which it is sharing with New Zealand, to put on more major
tournaments.
Chief executive James Johnson told
reporters that they are "looking at" both the expanded Club World Cup
and the men's World Cup, AFP reported.
"Our vision is to be local and global. And the way that we can be at our
best in Australia is when we're bringing big global football content, the
biggest events in the world, back to our local communities," he said.
"We're seeing that right now with the Women's World Cup, so we see the
success of the Women's World Cup as being a stepping stone towards bidding for
other competitions.
"There's the Club World Cup in 2029 that we're going to take a look at and
then there's the men's World Cup in 2034 that we're also going to look at as
well."
Asked by AFP to expand on Football Australia's ambitions of hosting the 2034
World Cup, Johnson added: "Australia will no doubt host a men's World Cup
one day.
"And what better way to do that than on the back of the best-ever Women's
World Cup."
Johnson used the example of Canada, which hosted the Women's World Cup in 2015
and is now set to stage the next men's World Cup along with the United States
and Mexico.
"I think that's a very good blueprint," he said.
"And what we can learn from the Canadians is that if you host big, major
tournaments, organisations like FIFA get comfortable to give you more."
Australia is already set for a bumper few years of major sports events,
including hosting the Olympics in 2032.
