The president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has urged England to bid for the 2030 World Cup.
England lost out in the bidding for the 2006 World Cup to Germany and 2018 World Cup to Russia, and the then FA chairman Greg Dyke said in 2014 that the nation would not seek to host the tournament again while Sepp Blatter remained FIFA president amid corruption allegations over the process.
Dyke, who was replaced as FA chairman by Greg Clarke in August, said after Blatter was banned from football that England would be open to a new bid and AFC president Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said it could be successful if there is no competition from within Europe.
