Thread inspired by one on the main (AFL) board, here's a thread (without the 'anti Soccer' hysteria and code war BS that is rife on the main board one) where you can discuss an interesting suggestion that Australia 'could' host the 2021 Confederations Cup.
Important note: No one from the FFA, FIFA, the other sporting codes or the Federal Government has made any official statement on the subject of Australia being host yet so it's only an idea at this stage.
At the last FIFA ExCo meeting in February, AFC president and ExCo member Sheikh Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa was exploring the option of staging the Confederations Cup in 2021 in another Asian country outside of World Cup host Qatar. It’s understood Japan is currently in the box seat to win the tournament.
