Britain will not hold the world championships during the presidency Blatter

England will be bidding to host the European Championship in 2028 and this is not going to qualify for the World Cup in 2026. This is the Guardian said the head of the Football Association of England ( FA) Greek Dyke.

The Football Association will not apply to host tournaments organized under the auspices of FIFA, as long as Sepp Blatter will not leave the post of president of the organization. This decision was made due to the fact that England has not received the right to host the 2018 World Cup, writes Guardian. Guide FA believes that the definition of host 2018 World Cup held in violation and that several heads of FIFA, the voters, have received bribes. However, the main claim of the English are related to how the vote, which host the World Cup in 2022. Primacy was given to Qatar, and FA argues that in this case the result of the vote was predetermined in advance, as the leaders of FIFA received bribes. The British launched an investigation, which has not yet been completed.

FIFA last week announced that the venue for the World Cup 2026 will be determined in 2017. Most likely, Sepp Blatter at this point will still be on as president of FIFA.

«In truth, the chances of a European country to get the World Cup 2026 are zero. Sepp Blatter have an excellent chance to remain president of FIFA until such time as will be determined by the owner of the championship. And we definitely will not apply for the World Cup as FIFA President Blatter remains.

Our policy – do not qualify for any tournament until the current leadership remains in place.

Much more we are interested in the European Championship 2028, because UEFA have a good relationship. However, before the championship is still quite a lot of time “, – said Dyke.

England semi-finals and finals will take the European Championship in 2020. These matches will be held at the “Wembley”. Matches of the championship will be held in thirteen European countries, including some matches will take Russia’s St. Petersburg.

The favorite in the fight for the right to host the World Cup in 2026 considered the NL A. Formally at the World Cup can claim any country that has an office in FIFA, but Sepp Blatter Federation tries to follow the principle of rotation of continents in determining the hosts world championships. In 2018 the tournament takes Europe ( Russian), in 2022 Asia ( Qatar), the last two championship took South America ( Brazil 2014 ) and Africa ( South Africa, 2010), so now the chances of the United States is estimated to be the most high.
