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 FIFA World Cup, but withdrew the bid on 10 June 2010.[2] The 2018 and 2022 World Cups were the twenty-first and twenty-second 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] Frank Lowy, Ben Buckley, Quentin Bryce and Elle Macpherson presented the bid.[4]
