It’d be nice and in fact bidding for the 2030 World Cup was part of The Conservative Party manifesto and had the backing of the various Home Nations plus Ireland for a joint bid. However, very much like @cryptoandcoffee ’s post above shows the costs of doing so were deemed too high and the bid was abandoned in favour of hosting Euro 2028 which it was felt would provide a similar return on a much smaller initial investment. Which reading between the lines means that UEFA’s bribes aren’t as extortionate as FIFA’s 😂
