France's 2038 World Cup Bid: A Distant and Uncertain Prospect

The article explores the possibility of France hosting the 2038 FIFA World Cup, as proposed by the association Territoires d'événements sportifs (TES). It notes that if Zinédine Zidane remains national team coach as long as Didier Deschamps (14 years), he would still be in charge for the 2038 tournament. The French Football Federation (FFF) is also considering bids for the 2033 Women's Euro and 2036 Men's Euro. However, the article emphasizes that any 2038 World Cup bid is a distant horizon and may not be feasible. Before proceeding, French officials must learn more about FIFA's bidding rules. The piece quotes FFF president Philippe Diallo and references his meeting with FIFA president Gianni Infantino during the 2023 World Cup semi-final.
