World Football Insider will provide on-the-scene coverage as England 2018 unveils its candidate cities, Wednesday, Dec. 16.
WFI’s European correspondent James Corbett will report from the QE2 Conference Center in London where the bid team will select the cities to be included in England’s submission to FIFA in May 2010.
England 2018 will narrow down its host city list from 15 applicants: Birmingham, Bristol, Derby, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, NewcastleGateshead, Nottingham, Plymouth, Sheffield and Sunderland.
“The candidate cities are included in the bid book, so it is an interesting development in the race to win the 2018 FIFA World Cup bid,” WFI editor Mark Bisson said.
“WFI has monitored every move of the England bid and we will continue to report its ups and downs through the next 11 months of the campaign, which concludes with FIFA’s selection of the host nation(s) on Dec. 2, 2010.”
WFI continues its coverage of bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups this week with an exclusive interview with Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa, chairman of the Qatar 2022 bid.
