Australia submitted an unsuccessful bid for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. On 2 December 2010 FIFA announced that the event would be held in Qatar.[1] Australia also lodged a bid for the 2018 World Cup, but withdrew the bid on 10 June 2010.[2] The 2018 and 2022 World Cups were the 21st and 22nd editions of the FIFA World Cup. The bidding procedure to host both the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup began in January 2009, and national associations had until 2 February 2009 to register their interest.[3] The bid was presented by Frank Lowy, Ben Buckley, Quentin Bryce and Elle Macpherson.[4]
