China is fully capable of hosting the World Cup, and FIFA will formally invite China to bid for the 20 18 World Cup next time. "On the afternoon of September 22nd, 2007, after the new office building of China Football Association was unveiled, Blatter once again mentioned the topic of the World Cup. This is the second time he mentioned it in China. Will China bid for the 20 18 World Cup? This immediately aroused widespread concern in society. Of course, the General Administration of Sport and the China Football Association have the strongest reaction. Especially when the 2008 Olympic Games is approaching, the topic of the World Cup is very dazzling.
Although the General Administration of Sport and the China Football Association have no official attitude, although the General Administration is making every effort to prepare for next year's Olympic Games, the advantages, disadvantages and uncertainties of China's bid to host the 20 18 World Cup have been made clear by the General Administration and the Football Association.
Favorable conditions
1. If the original intention of our application for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games is to show the reform achievements of the increasingly open China, in 20 18 years and 40 years of reform and opening up, the face of China can be described as impressive. In a sense, "if you can successfully host the Olympic Games, you are more likely to successfully host the World Cup", which is "international knowledge".
2. The World Cup has a very obvious driving effect, such as improving national self-confidence and pride, promoting the level of football, and promoting the development of tourism and civil aviation. Now, the world is paying attention to China, which is a rare opportunity. The successful bid for the 2008 Olympic Games and the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo can fully illustrate this point. Why can't 20 18 be done?
The venue is very loose, and the funds are not a problem. Next year's Olympic Games will leave a foundation for the 20 18 World Cup. Although there is a gap of ten years, the funds will not be too big. China is fully capable of hosting World Cup matches and spectators.
4. Havelange and Blatter's China complex is particularly important. During the two Olympic bid, the people of China felt the role and influence of Samaranch. If Havelange and Blatter's China complex is "pure", China probably won't have much resistance to hosting the World Cup. Blatter made it clear that even if he only represents himself, I believe it is not "nonsense".
Hosting the World Cup will greatly increase "the football population and audience of the host country". We are confident in this, and it is also the best reason for FIFA activists to convince their opponents.
negative factor
1. Don't have enough contacts in FIFA. In fact, the process of bidding for the World Cup is much more complicated than we thought. Although we have experience in bidding for the Olympic Games, we have to admit that when we applied for the Olympic Games, we really looked pale and powerless in procedure. In this regard, if we have established the idea of bidding for the World Cup in recent years, after the Olympic Games, we should immediately start to be familiar with the bidding procedures, establish contacts and set work progress goals. Fortunately, the Olympic bid has trained a large number of talents in this field, which has made us more mature, confident and targeted in the international sports arena.
2. The bad football environment in China can be said to be the biggest "injury" in our bid to host the World Cup. It is also the root of our indecision in decision-making. At that time, it was true that China's football level was not high, but later a "fake ball" and a "black whistle" were added. No matter how much we hate it out of justice and fairness, its direct result is to really hurt the image of China football and China.
3. China's football strength is unavoidable. Generally speaking, the strength of the host country has always been an unavoidable obstacle for the government to hold international heavyweight events such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup. Some people may take Greece hosting the Olympic Games as direct evidence to refute this statement. It should be said that as the internationally recognized birthplace of the Olympic Games, Greece's Olympic complex is almost impossible for foreigners to experience, which means that Greece is a special case. There is little reason for other countries to compare with Greece. Our football level is obvious to all, and many failures have distorted many attempts to struggle. The situation of the Asian Cup is enough to make us heartache. The 20 18 World Cup will be held in China. Can we qualify in the group?
4. Security issues need to be addressed. It is an indisputable fact that the security problem of the World Cup is much more serious than that of the Olympic Games. Which World Cup lost the sight of football hooligans? Which World Cup host didn't catch football hooligans? Which World Cup has no special fireworks? Just as China is the safest country to travel, we want social stability and attach great importance to this issue. Therefore, it is difficult for the government to make a final decision on the premise that there are security problems in the World Cup.
Uncertain condition
1.20 18 football atmosphere.
2. The development of football in China.
These two problems are actually under unfavorable conditions, but there are also some bases for major changes, because there are still 1 1 year, and there are still great variables.
In fact, bidding for the World Cup requires the government to make a decision. According to China's administrative system and the precedent of hosting the Olympic Games, this idea needs to be put forward by the State Sports General Administration and the China Football Association. The State Council agreed in principle, the General Administration issued a "feasibility report", and the State Council conducted a comprehensive study. This will have to be repeated several times to be sure. Therefore, although the advantages and disadvantages of the bid have been comprehensively evaluated, the Football Association and the General Administration must also get an oral reply from the central authorities before making a decision.
