ZURICH (AP) — FIFA says President Sepp Blatter will meet British Prime Minister David Cameron in London next week, when government support for England’s bid to host the 2018 World Cup will be on the agenda.
Cameron invited Blatter to 10 Downing Street in May, within days of taking office and on the eve of England’s bid leaders presenting FIFA with technical plans to host the finals.
England, Russia and joint bids from Spain-Portugal and the Netherlands-Belgium are in an expected four-way race among European candidates for 2018 hosting rights.
FIFA chooses the host on Dec. 2.
