Rejected petition Bid for the 2030 FIFA World Cup

Change its mind about not bidding for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

More details

I believe that by hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2030 it would be a chance to bring the country together after divisions caused by Brexit. Furthermore, I believe would could base a bid on inspiring a generation to take up football. Particularly those in Africa.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about whether to bid to host international sporting events are matter for the relevant sporting body - in this case the Football Association - not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
