FA chairman Dyke rules out England bidding for future World Cups

FA chairman Greg Dyke says England will not be competing in the future to host FIFA tournaments.

Dyke gave evidence to the Culture Media and Sport (CMS) select committee on Tuesday regarding the bidding process for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which has been plagued by allegations of corruption and bribery.

"We've already taken the decision that we will not bid for FIFA tournaments - our decision is we will concentrate in the years ahead on bidding for UEFA tournaments. We wouldn't win (a future World Cup bid)," Dyke said.

"I don't think we should walk out of FIFA because within a week everyone has forgotten you."
