British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has offered his support to a potential joint bid by both the UK and the Republic of Ireland to host the 2030 World Cup.
“Let’s bring football home in 2030. I would love for the home of football to host the 2030 World Cup, and it would be a wonderful thing for the whole country to savour,” Johnson said on Tuesday.
