The Football Association is considering putting England forward as a potential host for the 2030 World Cup, confirming today it has approved a feasibility study into becoming Europe's only bid.
England, the home of the globally dominant Premier League, won the only World Cup the nation has ever hosted in 1966 but lost out in the race to host the 2006 and 2018 tournaments.
"Last month the English FA board agreed to conduct feasibility work into the possibility of putting itself forward to be UEFA's potential candidate to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup," FA chairman Greg Clarke said in a statement.
"This work will take place during the new season and no decision will be made until 2019."
