The 2034 FIFA World Cup will be the 25th FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial international men's football championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA.

Host selection

The Hosts for the 2034 World Cup are England, Wales and Scotland

Egypt

Egypt's Sports and Youth Minister Ashraf Sobhy said that Egypt is considering a bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup.[1]

Zimbabwe

Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Walter Mzembi has said that Zimbabwe will bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup. His idea is to have Harare as the host city but in collaboration with other major cities in the region like Maputo, Johannesburg, Gaborone and Lusaka. All these cities are within a one-and-a-half hour flight of each other.[2]

Australia

After its failed bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Australia has considered a joint bid with neighbouring New Zealand, an OFC member with which they will co-host the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[3][4] Australia re-established this intention in August 2021, shortly after Brisbane's success in bidding to host the 2032 Summer Olympics.[5] A joint bid with Indonesia and other ASEAN nations instead of New Zealand was also discussed by Football Australia.[6] However, Indonesia has remained reluctant to the joint bid with Australia, considering the country is also taking part in the ASEAN bid for the same competition.[7]
