At the moment, FIFA inspectors are visiting all countries that aspire to become the hosts of the 2018 World Cup.
According to various betting companies on the planet, England's chances are highly valued. By placing a hundred litas bet on England, you could double your winnings if they win.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter has also named England as the most serious favorite to host the world championship. According to him, hosting the championship in this country would be very easy, as there are suitable stadiums, well-developed infrastructure, and football is very popular among the population.
Despite the praise for the English, it is believed that Russia also has good chances, although they would need to invest a lot, as most of the stadiums needed for the championship would have to be built from scratch. A major problem is poor transportation. Bookmakers rate Russia's chances at a coefficient of 3.0.
According to bookmakers, Spain and Portugal are tied for third place in wanting to host the championship (4.50). Following them are the Netherlands and Belgium (15.0) and the USA (23.0).
Australia, Indonesia, Qatar, USA, South Korea, and Japan will compete to host the 2022 World Cup. The hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Championships will be announced in December 2010.
