The World Cup is now a matter of months away as Germany look to defend their crown in Russia.
A total of sixteen countries have hosted the prestigious competition with the next hosts being the seventeenth different country to host.
England have bid to host the World Cup on four separate occasions but have only been successful once. The last World Cup cost the host nation a whopping $15 billion to host and this cost has put a lot of countries off hosting the tournament.
With many stadiums only being built to host World Cup games, many countries are left with a huge bill to pay and empty stadiums with no way of filling them. The scene of the Maracana just months after the final was desolate.
The 2018 tournament will be the last summer tournament for eight years if the plans go ahead to host the tournament in an 'unusual' location in 2022.
The decision on who hosts the next World Cup is usually decided seven years in advance, meaning we will find out the hosts of the 2026 World Cup in 2019. It's looking as if Canada, USA and Mexico will put in a shared bid and go up against Morocco for the right to host the tournament. England are planning on bidding again for the tournament for the 2030 World Cup, they could be up against the South American trio of Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.
Good luck on this one, 100% is what you must be aiming for!
