Football Association of Wales chief executive Jonathan Ford has revealed that Wales may look to bid for the 2026 World Cup in conjunction with England.
With the 2018 World Cup heading to Russia and 2022 tournament being hosted by Qatar, the Welsh FA would love for a future competition to be staged in the UK and Ford was quick to back up the words of First Minister Carwyn Jones after he said revealed the plans.
First Minister Jones said: "We have got the UEFA Super Cup coming to Cardiff next year and we want that to be the starting point for bringing more major football events to Wales.
"We are talking with the FAW about bidding to be one of the venues for the 2020 European Championships, we want a Champions League final... and then there is the World Cup in 2026.
"The most likely joint bid would be with England and we know we have three good stadia we can offer.
"By 2026 we can get the Liberty Stadium and Cardiff City Stadium up to 30,000-plus to supplement the Millennium Stadium."
FAW chief Ford added: "It's a great future ambition. We know where the World Cup is going in 2018 and 2022, but the process thereafter has yet to be determined.
"I absolutely support the First Minister in having a good ambition."
