In the 12th AFF Council Meeting, which took place on Saturday, it has been confirmed that the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) and the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) will submit a joint bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
“Both the PSSI and the FAT have the support of their respective governments and as such, we at the AFF are supportive of this joint bid,” said Dato’ Sri Azzuddin Ahmad, the general secretary of the AFF.
To date, no other country has confirmed or submitted a bid for the 2034 World Cup yet.
If successful, it will be the third time that Asia plays host to a World Cup after South Korea-Japan in 2002 and Qatar in 2022.
