If accepted, why will it have taken 64 years to do so? This has been far too long for our turn to come around again.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says it is the "right time" for the UK and Republic of Ireland to launch a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup. The UK government will reportedly pledge £2.8m to kick-start the process in Wednesday's Budget.
The football associations of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland say they are "delighted" with the government's commitment.
"We are very, very keen to bring football home in 2030," Johnson said.
Let's hope it happens.
