中国或申办2026年足球世界杯,可能会影响到澳洲申办2022年世界杯成功的可能性。
中国足协已经表示出申办2026年世界杯的意愿,引发可能会导致澳洲,日本,韩国和卡塔尔申办之前一届世界杯前景的担忧。
国际足联今年12月2日将决定2018年和2022年两届世界杯赛的主办权。2018年世界杯赛主办权归属欧洲的可能性很大。中国如提出申办,可能对美国2022年的申办来说是个好消息。
英国考文垂大学运动市场专家Simon Chadwick表示,如果中国参与2026年的申办,将使2022年主办国的归属更加扑朔迷离,因为中国可能是足球界待开发的最后的堡垒。
他说,从中国政府的角度来说,申办世界杯是一件很重要的事,而从国际足联的角度来说,中国是非常重要的市场,可能比1994年时的美国还要重要很多。
中国足协主席韦迪从南非归来后曾表露出申办的意愿,他对中国媒体体坛周报表示中国有足以承办大赛的基础建议和设施--正如他曾对国际足联主席布拉特提到过那样。
韦迪告诉媒体,布拉特曾对他说过中国正变得越来越有影响力,可以肯定中国最终将获得机会承办一界世界杯。
韦迪还表示支持美国申办成功2022年世界杯,当谈到卡塔尔时,他说:卡塔尔虽然很富有,足以建设有空调设施的比赛场地,但是,卡塔尔才有多少人口?能填满观众席吗?
虽然有严格的规定禁止讨论和评价在12月投票的2018和2022两届世界杯竞标的对手,但主办2026年世界杯的竞争还没有开始,所以中国现在不受这些约束限制。
“我宁愿希望美国获胜,这意味着我们将有更大的机会申办2026年成功” 韦迪说。
如果国际足联决定让一个亚洲国家主办2022年世界杯,那么中国将不得不至少等到2030年。
中国申办2026年世界杯未能得到亚足联主席,卡塔尔人哈曼在新闻发布会上的全力支持。
哈曼表示,亚足联将首先考虑支持2022年申办世界杯的四个亚洲国家,他不想“影响他们申办的机会。”
此四个国家对于中国申办的意图反应不同,只有日本承认一个中国是个威胁。卡塔尔和澳大利亚足球官员拒绝对此发表评论。
China talks of bid for World Cup in 2026
July 23, 2010 - 6:48PM
Australia's bid for the 2022 World Cup could be undermined by China's tilt at the 2026 tournament.
China's Football Association has signalled it may bid for the World Cup in 2026, raising speculation that such a move could stymie the hopes of Australia, Japan, South Korea and Qatar as they look to host a previous edition of the sporting spectacle.
The winning bids for 2018 and 2022 will be announced December 2, with a European country expected to be chosen for the earlier of those. And the emergence of China as a contender for 2026 could work in favour of the US bid for 2022.
"If China throws its hat in for 2026, it blows everything wide open for 2022 because in many ways China is arguably the last great footballing frontier," said Simon Chadwick, a sports marketing expert at Coventry University in England.
"From the Chinese government's perspective, bidding for the World Cup is an important thing.
"From FIFA's perspective, there is considerable appeal in China bidding for 2026 because I think it's a very important marketplace. I would argue China is much more important marketplace than the (US) was in 1994."
CFA head Wei Di first hinted at a bid last week after returning from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, telling the country's leading sports newspaper Titan Sports that China has the venues and the rail network needed to host a big event - something he communicated to FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
"Mr. Blatter told me China is becoming more and more influential and it's an irresistible trend that China will finally host a World Cup," Wei said.
He also came out in favour of the United States winning the 2022 bid and took aim at Qatar, over fears that an Asian winner would jeopardise China's chances in 2026.
FIFA rules dictate that no continent can host the World Cup twice in a row.
"Qatar is so hot. Even though the country is rich enough to build venues with air conditioning system. But what's the population of that country? How can they fill their venues with people?" Wei told the newspaper.
Strict protocol prohibits candidates from discussing rival World Cup bids ahead of the vote in December for the 2018 and 2022 editions, but the contest for countries wanting to host the 2026 World Cup isn't even open yet, so China isn't bound by those guidelines.
"I'd rather hope US could win the bid, which means we'll have higher chance of success bidding for 2026," Wei was quoted as saying. "
If FIFA decided to let an Asian country host the 2022 World Cup, then China will have to wait at least until 2030."
The talk of China bidding for 2026 World Cup brought a less than supportive response from AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam, a native Qatari who was at the news conference.
Bin Hammam said the AFC is supporting the four Asian bidders for the 2022 tournament and that he "didn't want to jeopardise their chances."
Reaction from the four bidders to the Chinese threat has been mostly mixed, with only Japan acknowledging that a Chinese bid poses challenges. Qatar and Australian football officials declined to comment. |
