England 2018

England 2018 is the Football Association’s official bid for the right to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup™.[1].


FIFA has invited bidding countries to bid for either the 2018 or the 2022 Finals, or both. The FA has decided to bid for both, with the focus on winning the privilege to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup™.

England’s Bid is being managed by England 2018/2022 Bidding Nation Ltd. This company has been established by The FA for the purpose of bringing the World Cup tournament to England for the first time since 1966.


England 2018 is confident the country can stage a fantastic festival of football that will engage the nation and deliver positive change for football in England and across the world.


The Board of England 2018 is chaired by Lord David Triesman, also chairman of The FA. He is joined by three Deputy Chairmen: Sir Dave Richards, Chairman of the Premier League; David Gill, Chief Executive of Manchester United; and Lord Mawhinney, Chairman of the Football League.


The Non-Executive Directors are: Sir Keith Mills, Deputy Chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG); Baroness Amos, former leader of the House of Lords; and Sir Martin Sorrell, Chief Executive of WPP.


They are joined by Lord Sebastian Coe, who became a board member in February 2009. Lord Coe led London’s successful bid for the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, and is Chairman of LOCOG. He has taken leave of absence from his role as Chairman of FIFA’s Ethics Committee to join the Bid team.


Richard Caborn MP, the Prime Minister’s World Cup Ambassador, is providing support to the Board.


The Chief Executive of England 2018 is Andy Anson, formerly Chief Executive (Europe) of the ATP, and previously Commercial Director at Manchester United.


The FA announced its intention to bid on 31 October 2007, and the Bid Registration Form was submitted to FIFA’s headquarters in Zurich on 17 March 2009.


The bid has the support of Prince William, the FA’s President. A number of Vice Presidents have been appointed to the bid, including David Beckham, John Barnes and current England manager Fabio Capello.


FIFA will announce the host countries of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup tournaments in December 2010.
