Brazil was chosen to host the 2014 World Cup, Tuesday, the first time since 1950 the soccer showcase will be held in the country that has won the event a record five times.
They become the fifth country to host two World Cups following Mexico (1970 and 1986), France (1938 and 1998), West Germany/Germany (1974 and 2006) and Italy (1934 and 1990).
FIFA’s executive committee has voted unanimously to end its policy of rotating the hosting of World Cups through its six continental confederations.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said the rotation policy had been dropped with effect from the 2018 World Cup.
Blatter added that a final decision on the hosting of the 2018 event would likely be taken in 2011. FIFA had already learned of six possible bids.
“Besides England, there is at least one combined offer from the Netherlands and Belgium,” Blatter said. “There has also been interest announced from China, Australia, Mexico and the United States.”
