FIFA World Cup is the largest and most prestigious sporting event in the world. The host of this event do not have to go through the World Cup (WC) qualifying and benefit of sports tourism during the event. It is no surprise that selection for the World Cup host can be controversial and increasingly rigorous. In the modern era, FIFA has tried to meet the criteria for host selection and equitabletransparent.

Since the FIFA host selection policy is dynamic, it is important to the context in which it has grown to understand. Between the first World Cup in 1930 and 2010, the format and rules of host selection have changed significantly. the establishment of the democratic process was from, though voting for the toilet instead of just host only once (for the 1938 World Cup) between 1930 and 1958. This was due to the behind-the-scenes mediation by the FIFAExecutives from bidding countries included in many countries, withdrawing deals in return for support in later bids and other incentives.

After the FIFA official bid from the potential host country, a FIFA inspection team must assess the member of the association football facilities, general infrastructure and safety skills, along with other criteria specified in the Hosting Agreement. After giving the FIFA inspectors approval to the bids will land the FIFA member association which tendered for the vote at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting.

== == Voting process

The "single transferable vote selected"is the basis for the FIFA Executive Committee with the voting process. As such, proportional representation is emphasized, with well-populated confederations such as UEFA and CONCACAF with more weight. The votes are taken in rounds and registered confederations "constituencies". These votes are transferred to later rounds, when multiple ballots are required.

The politics of FIFA and the power struggle for the hosting was a feature of host-selection by the beginning of the FIFA World Cup. Cup In the early days, Inter-Continental travel long and expensive process, teams from South America and Europe, the two most influential Confederation wanted to avoid-long journey. This resulted in only four European teams taking part in the 1930 World Cup held Uruguay. Subsequently, an agreement that World Cup host would alternate between Europe and America after the 1958 edition has been implemented to reduce disputes to.

Offeralternated between Europe and America until the bid for the 2002 World Cup when the tournament first held in Asia for the. South Africa was in line to host the 2006 World Cup, which the gradual spread of football concentrated power base. After controversially defeated Germany in 2000, led the FIFA continental rotation system to prevent a repeat of this occurrence.

The rotation policy was created from theIncrease the competitiveness of the tender and the loss of the dual hosting of Europe and America. To prevent, teams and nations from opportunistically riding on joint bids in the world - Cup, FIFA president Sepp Blatter also confirmed that FIFA would rather not co-hosting arrangements.

Pressure from interest groups and the UEFA (Europe), led in particular to a new hosting policy.

FIFA recent ruling (in 2009) is that every country, except those from the zones, which is hostedthe previous two tournaments, is entitled to money. This means that Europe will probably get you for every third World Cup to make their own, so that member associations in other areas a realistic chance. This policy also prevents a non-competitive bidding situation, as happened when Brazil CONMEBOL law purchased the world to host the 2014 Cup, because it is presented from the only official bid.

The choice of host for low-profile FIFA tournaments is lesscontroversial. Because much is at stake as host of the men's event, it is required to more controversy and high politics. Despite the fact assures FIFA that the process for selecting the host in a host of competence in the field and off it is.
