Looks like Australia is bidding for the FIFA World Cup 2030 or 2034

here's a none paywall article.

Football Australia confident about looming FIFA World Cup bid as they look to build on Olympics success


Football Australia (FA) are confident that their next FIFA World Cup bid will do better than its disastrous attempt to land the 2022 edition of the tournament.

The Australian is reporting that plans are being made for FA to launch bids for the 2030 and 2034 World Cups after they successfully landed the 2023 Women's World Cup in conjunction with New Zealand.

Brisbane also recently won the right to host the 2032 Olympic Games with Australia expected to focus their World Cup bid on the 2034 FIFA tournament.

After spending over $40 million in an attempt to host the 2022 World Cup but securing just one vote as Qatar won out, FA chief executive James Johnson believes they are in a much better position to succeed with the Women's World Cup seen as a crucial first step.

“We’ll host a great competition in 2023 – we’re going to wrap a legacy around it for the game, but we’ve got to squeeze more juice out of this and it could be a stepping stone with a successful delivery of that toward more FIFA competitions," Johnson said via The Australian.

"And there’s a trend. Look at Canada, which hosted the Women’s World Cup in 2015 and 11 years later they’re going to host the men’s World Cup with the US (and Mexico).

"Look at Brazil – they hosted the World Cup in 2014 and Olympics in 2016.

"It is a different FIFA now (to 2010). You have to make sure you put the best bid in and make sure you’re the best advocate. We probably have more clout now than we’ve had in a long time."

After the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the 2026 edition will see Canada, Mexico and the United States team up after they fended off a bid from Morocco.

The 2030 World Cup is then expected to be awarded to Europe or South America with Spain and Portugal launching a joint-bid late in 2020.

Bit of a nothing article really, its easy to say yeah we're ready to bid again by James Johnson but realistically a lot a of bridges need to be crossed. Plus it's hardly the right time to discuss a potential bid right now either during this current pandemic.

I doubt it.

2030 and 2034 and awarded simultaneously just like 2018/2022 then just give up now.

If they're awarded individually, go all in on 2030.

2030 currently has 2 weak bids and 2 average bids.
But China's expressed interest for 2034. You know already that once they go for it. They'll get it.
But if we can go all out for 2030, we might nab it if our competition is Balkans/Iberia/North Africa/South-South America

But in all honesty. I wouldn't waste our money or time on it. let China have 2034 and we can push for one of the 2040 world cups

If I were a betting man

2030 - Spain/Portugal
2034 - China
2038 - Argentina/Chile/Uruguay/Paraguay
2042 - United Kingdom (whatever constitutes it at the time lol)
2046 - Australia/New Zealand

2046! Pretty optimistic we'd be having international travellers by then

If FIFA end up like the Olympics and can't get dollars from the bidders let alone the event, it will likely start to look like the last Euros.

Hosted in a various locations around the globe. Not to many countries willing to sign blank cheques to get an event for a few weeks

They should just rotate it around the confederations and each one could jointly host the group phases and the knockouts at a few select venues.

CONCACAF 2026
UEFA 2030
CAF 2034
COMNBOL 2038
AFC & OCEANIA 2042
