Australia To Bid For Club World Cup

FOOTBALL Federation Australia is putting its hand up for Australia to host the 2009 and 2010 Club World Cup.

A successful bid from the FFA could see the likes of Europe's Manchester United and South America's Boca Juniors bring their stars to Australia, with the champion team of each of the world's football confederations competing. The host association is also given the right to field a team.

Stiff opposition for hosting rights is set to come from current hosts Japan and the United Arab Emirates when bidding begins.

The Club World Cup, which takes place in December each year, has been held in Tokyo for the past four years but FIFA has opened up hosting rights for next year and 2010 to the rest of the world.
