FIFA president Sepp Blatter says a deal for Europe to host the 2018 World Cup is being negotiated.
England, Russia and joint bids from Spain and Portugal, and Belgium Netherlands are currently competing to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.
"From what I've discussed with the president of UEFA, Michel Platini, in the last few days in Moscow is that only a European candidate will be evaluated for the 2018 World Cup," Blatter said from the Spanish capital yesterday. "It's still not decided, but it's an idea to help facilitate the work of FIFA and its executive committee."
Australia, Japan and the United States are also bidding for either 2018 or 2022, while South Korea, Indonesia and Qatar are in the running to host the 2022 tournament only.
