FA chairman Greg Clarke has confirmed that a bid is being prepared to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup in England.
This tournament will mark a century since the first World Cup finals, and countries from Europe and South America will both be eligible to bid.
"Last month the English FA board agreed to conduct feasibility work into the possibility of putting itself forward to be UEFA's potential candidate to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup," Clarke said, as quoted by Sky Sports News.
"This work will take place during the new season and no decision will be made until 2019.
