How Australia was able to join Indonesia's World Cup bid

The two nations have joined forces as they look to build on a blossoming relationship

In 2017, Indonesia decided they wanted to bid for a World Cup. Two years later and Australia have managed to join their Asian neighbours' bid after falling well short in their own previous attempt.

A potential joint campaign between the two nations for the 2034 World Cup was confirmed last week with discussions still in their early stages.

While two of the largest countries in Asia, Australia and Indonesia's relationship is only just beginning to take root but it has found some promising foundations.
