A Festival of Harmony
People’s Republic of China’s Bid for the 2026 World Cup
A Festival of Harmony
People’s Republic of China’s Bid for the 2026 World Cup
Introduction
Since the creation of modern football in
19th century, football has become one of the
most famous sports in the world. The World Cup
is also one of the most watched events in the
world. Host countries have used the opportunity
to promote the country’s potential to the rest of
the world by hosting the World Cup.
Therefore, the People’s Republic of China
is bidding for the host country of the FIFA World
CupTM to show its true potential in hosting a
world class sporting event. We are using the
World Cup momentum to create a harmony
between our country and the world by hosting a
memorable and exciting tournament. Not only
with the international community, we also
wanted that the harmonious condition will
spread among the Chinese people themselves.
The concept of the bid is to create World
Cup tournament with lower budget than the
previous hosts but able to show a unique
tournament that can be remembered for
decades later. All of the stadiums we used are
already built and operational, needing only
minor works to make them ready for the World
Cup. We will also create a better security and
environment in order to give the best experience
in watching FIFA World CupTM live in the stadium.
Our work is not only for fans that come to
China, but we will also try our best with FIFA to
create a schedule that can be enjoyed by
everyone watching the World Cup in their
respective countries. We also hope that the
World Cup can make an impact in China’s
development. If China gets the chance, we
believe that we can create a festival of harmony
for all.
