United Kingdom plan 2030 World Cup bid

Prime Minister Theresa May and her government will back the bid, with the Conservative Prime Minister stating on Friday the government are behind the plans. 

She said: "Following the excitement of this summer's World Cup, the English FA are working together with the FAs of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland to explore whether there could be a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup."

Any formal bid would require the Football Association to take the lead.

UK Sport will announce their hosting targets on Wednesday - which also includes hosting the European Athletics Championships in 2020 and the World Championships a year later.
