JAKARTA — Indonesia is in discussions with Australia about a possible joint bid to host the 2034 World Cup along with Malaysia and Singapore, the president of the country's football federation (PSSI) said on Wednesday (Oct 11).
Argentina's captain and forward Lionel Messi holds the Fifa World Cup Trophy upon arriving at the Ezeiza International Airport, Buenos Aires, on Dec 20, 2022 after winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
"We are discussing with Australia," PSSI President Erick Thohir was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald. When asked for comment on a possible joint bid, Football Australia referred Reuters to a statement last week that said it was"exploring the possibility of bidding for the 2029 Fifa Club World Cup and/or the Fifa World Cup 2034".After announcing Spain, Morocco and Portugal would host the 2030 World Cup, with Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina staging the opening games, Fifa invited Asia and Oceania to bid for 2034.
Saudi Arabia quickly announced its intention to bid for the 2034 hosting rights and Fifa have set a deadline of Oct 31 for other interested parties to make their intentions known.
