England is preparing to bring back the 2038 or 2042 World Cup

England is preparing to bid for hosting the 2038 or 2042 World Cup, aiming to bring the tournament back home. This is reported by One.uz.

According to The Sun, the project is supported by high-level political circles, including Prime Minister Andy Bernem. The goal is to return the World Cup to England, which has not hosted it since 1966, and to deliver significant economic benefits to the national economy.

This is also reported by Goal.com. Economic and infrastructural benefits Political leaders view the World Cup not merely as a sporting festival, but as a key opportunity to upgrade national infrastructure and develop the tourism sector.

According to Andy Bernem's strategy, the economic and infrastructural benefits should not be limited to London but distributed evenly across regions throughout the country, ensuring a long-term positive legacy even after the tournament ends.

Experience and readiness Great Britain's men last hosted the World Cup in 1966, but in subsequent years the country has gained extensive experience in organizing major international tournaments. For example, England hosted the 1996 European Championship, and Wembley Stadium hosted the final of Euro 2020.

Currently, Great Britain and Ireland are planning to jointly host the 2028 European Championship, which confirms their capability to host top-level competitions. Future planning The England national team performed successfully at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, reaching the semi-finals, defeating France 6:4 in the third-place match, and earning bronze medals.

Under FIFA's rotation system, future tournaments are already allocated: 2030 in Spain, Morocco, and Portugal, as well as in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay for the centenary edition. Saudi Arabia has also been confirmed as host for the 2034 World Cup.

Therefore, the 2038 and 2042 editions are seen as opportunities for European nations. Source: One.uz.
