FIFA’s selection of the host country for world cup events has evolved over time. This selection process is accompanied by certain requirements and a financial audit process to accommodate the country. This selection process was highly controversial as it drew many comments about the inefficiency of international travel.
Several European teams managed to participate in the FIFA World Cup hosts in Uruguay (South America), and several South America. Both teams withdrew when the next event was held on the European. To prevent favoritism, FIFA began to alternate between America and Europe with each successive event. This policy continued until 2002 when Japan and South Korea co-hosted the first World Cup finals in Asia.
FIFA’s selection process has come a long way from its early days (as has air travel). The creation of a much more balanced and reliable system. This process begins with each prospective host country, having to submit a bid to the FIFA Bid Evaluation Task Force several years in advance. The BETF then prepared three reports:
That condition of the prospective host country is presented to the FIFA Council. The elimination process to narrow the bids down to a list of candidates begins. Next, the selection process is carried out by the entire FIFA congress. FIFA congress consists of representatives of 211 countries as FIFA association members. Every step of the process is completely transparent and publicly available. Starting from the initial report to the final vote of each member.
