Special Feature: Reasons for England to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup - Part 2
If the passion that prevails in the English nation for football is not enough, the country also has a very homely feeling about itself. England is primarily an Island nation, but unlike Australia or other bigger islands, the British
Isles are a very small set of Islands. The small nature of the territory that the country occupies actually works well for tourists who find it very easy to get around the country. England has a very well developed infrastructure, which will go a long way
to facilitate the transport problems that fans usually face at World Cup tournaments.
The 2012 Olympics are already being hosted by England’s capital city, London so the European nation has a chance to gather precious experience before it hosts the 2018 World Cup (if it gets awarded the right to do so). The last
world cup England hosted was back in 1966, back then England did a remarkable job of accommodating people from different walks of life and the year 2018 will be no different.
England’s famous first division football, which is also known as, the English Premier League, provides the crowd with fantastic stadiums that delight the supporters of respective teams with amazing atmosphere along with a secure
environment. England’s footballing history means that there are grand venues to host the World Cup matches all over the country.
Stadiums like Manchester United’s Old Trafford, London’s Wembley stadium and Arsenal’s Emirates stadium are fantastic avenues of football in the English country. These stadiums are jam packed every weekend as league football takes
place. If the World Cup does indeed arrive at English shores, these historical venues will be put to test once again and their ability to impress cannot be understated.
If England are given the right to host the 2018 World Cup, FIFA can rest assured that the organization for the event will be splendid as it won’t be the first time that England hosts a major sporting competition. England has hosted
the UEFA Champions League final at Old Trafford in 2003, the UEFA Cup final in 2008 and the Tennis champions of Wimbledon as well. These events have proved that England is well prepared to deal with a tournament that holds as much importance as the FIFA World
Cup.
For a tournament such as the FIFA World Cup, the climate also plays an important role. As the World Cup takes place in the summer, the English summer will prove the perfect setting for an unforgettable tournament. The moderate
temperatures that are experienced in the English summer will be comfortable enough for all the athletes to perform at their maximum capabilities during the tournament.
England is also in the perfect time zone, people in different areas of the world will not have to wake up until late to watch the World Cup matches, they will be able to experience live world cup football on their televisions.
One more thing that is guaranteed if the 2018 World Cup is hosted in England is that the stadiums for all the matches that will take place during the duration of the tournament will be packed. England knows how to put on a show
and loud, sold out stadiums are one of the few things that the English are famous for. Celebrations and the magnanimity of the tournament that FIFA prides itself on can be taken to a completely new level if the competition does indeed hit the venues in England.
