Why not just have football in the places that really really want it, that have large populations where people can get too. I don't get this obsession from FIFA with switching it all over the place just based on geography. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussie manager was on the radio today and said that football was the 5th most popular sport by viewing but the number one sport by participation. Its growing in popularity and the recent world cup has given it a boost On that basis I guess it fits the fifa criteria for helping grow the sport globally I'd rather have it there than spread over 3 continents tbh 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be amazing. Lack of £40k+ seater stadiums would probably be a factor. FIFA would love charging a fortune for Heineken and other tat though and claim to be inline with general Scandenavian pricing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 One things for sure - there'd be no thoughts of having a december tournament if it were to be held in Scandanavia... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does the sport need to grow anyway? I don’t want football to eat any further into other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 It's FIFA that wants it to grow - it's their criteria for spreading the world cup everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I accept I am bias but I can't think of a country or area better suited than England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
