British and Irish chances of 2030 World Cup bid made more ‘credible’

• Football Association of Ireland: ‘This bid is on front foot’
• Uefa president lent his backing in 2018

The chances of a British and Irish bid to host the 2030 World Cup appear to have improved, according to the general manager of the Football Association of Ireland. After a presentation at the Euro 2020 draw in Bucharest, Noel Mooney was quoted by the Times as saying: “The feasibility study is positive and there’s a sense the right thing to do is go forward. This bid is out on the front foot and very well led by the English FA, who gave a very strong presentation. It’s a chance to get a really credible bid and hopefully win it. I’d be very surprised if there’s not a very credible bid from Great Britain and Ireland.”
