ASEAN MULL FIFA WORLD
CUP HOSTING IN 2030
JANUARY 17, 2011
BANGKOK
(18

–
ASEAN
foreign
ministers
have
agreed to propose to the
grouping’s leadership that the
region host the FIFA World Cup in
2030 as a group, diplomatic
sources say.
The foreign ministers, who are
meeting in Lombok, Indonesia,
would submit a formal and
detailed plan for approval by the
ASEAN leaders when they meet in
Jakarta on 7-8 May 2010.
The idea of the region jointly
hosting the FIFA World Cup in
2030 was first proposed by
Malaysia at the annual foreign
ministers’ meeting in Hanoi in
July last year.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah
Aman volunteered to discuss the
idea with his country’s sports
authorities. Malaysian Prime
Minister Najib Razak has
endorsed the proposal.
During the recent ASEAN finance
ministers meeting in Kuala
Lumpur, Thai Finance Minister
Korn Chatikavanij also raised the
idea, which was well received by
his colleagues.
Singapore Foreign Minister
George Yeo proposed that
Malaysia work with the ASEAN
Secretariat in Jakarta to come up
with a concrete proposal to
submit to the ASEAN leaders for
their final approval.
Brazil will host the next World
Cup in 2014, followed by Russia
in 2018 and then Qatar in 2022.
The 2026 and 2030 hosts have
not yet been decided.
“This is an effort to use sport to
create an ASEAN identity,” said a
source to Bangkok Post. “This is
a community-building effort. It
will excite the youth (of the
region). It will engage the people.
It will inspire the imagination of
ASEAN.”
Another source said: “ASEAN
need an ASEAN identity. ASEAN
coming together and competing
as a bloc to host the FIFA World
Cup will bring a tremendous
sense of community and
common identity.”
The ASEAN Secretariat will invite
experts and football authorities
from the region and elsewhere
to help the group map out a
strategy for the 2030 bid.
The application will likely face
competition from other Asian
countries such as China, who has
stated its intention to bid for the
right to host the world’s most
watched sporting event in 2030.
By the time the international
football association, FIFA decide
on the 2030 World Cup host, all
ASEAN capitals are expected to
have built international standard
sports and football stadiums,
said one of the sources.
The details as to which capital
will host which match are being
worked out, the source said.
They emphasised that the
process was as important to
ASEAN as the end result as, if
endorsed by the ASEAN Summit
in May, it would become a joint
initiative among all member
nations.
