In a closing statement,Harold Mayne-Nicholls said all of the inspectors needs had been met following the six-man teams visit of London,Manchester,Newcastle and Sunderland this week.

We are positive that the World Cup in England in 2018 or 22 would be a great experience with a long-lasting legacy for this country and its football,as well as for football worldwide, Mayne-Nicholls said. A 24-man FIFA executive committee will vote on December 2 to decide which countries will host the 2018 and 22 tournaments. Russia is bidding to host both and is expected to be Englands chief rival.
