France Eyes 2038 World Cup Co-Host Bid

29 Oct

Summary

France is exploring a potential bid for the 2038 FIFA World Cup.
A joint hosting bid with Germany is being considered.
The bid's success may hinge on the 2027 French presidential election results.

France is actively exploring the possibility of co-hosting the 2038 FIFA World Cup. French FA president Philippe Diallo has confirmed the nation's interest in hosting major football tournaments. France has not hosted the men's FIFA World Cup since 1998, though it did host the Women's World Cup in 2019.

Given the Men's World Cup's expansion to 48 teams and France's stadium limitations, a joint bid is being considered, with Germany being a likely partner. Diallo noted excellent relations with the German FA and the potential for such a collaboration to revitalize European national team football and the continent. The feasibility of France's bid is also contingent on the results of the 2027 presidential elections.
