The host nation was to be decided on 19 March 2010 but was postponed by FIFA to give bidders more time to prepare their bids.[3]

On 3 March 2011, FIFA initially awarded the World Cup to Uzbekistan.[4] However, on 18 December 2011 FIFA had the tournament stripped from this country for problems with the bid and named Japan as a possible host.[5] Japan was officially announced as host on 8 February 2012.[2]

Bids and hosting problems

edit

Vietnam had originally won the right the host the tournament. However, the country had to withdraw its bid because it could not guarantee government backing and found the FIFA bid process "taxing".[6]

New Zealand had initially been asked to be ready as a backup venue,[7] but was eventually awarded the 2015 FIFA U-20 Men's World Cup and FIFA then awarded the hosting rights to Uzbekistan. However, in its meeting in Tokyo in December 2011, FIFA's Executive Committee decided to cancel Uzbekistan's hosting of the tournament due to "a number of logistical and technical issues" and announced that Japan had been proposed as its new organiser.[5]

The Uzbekistan Football Federation had recommended six cities to host the matches. They are Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Qarshi, Mubarek and Guzar.[8] The competition would have taken place in Tashkent's Pakhtakor and Bunyodkor Stadiums, Samarkand's Olympic Stadium, Bukhara's Markaziy Stadium, Qarshi's Nasaf Stadium, Mubarek's Bahrom Vafoev Stadium and the Guzar Stadium.
