China lingers over 2018 World Cup bid

對(duì)于中國(guó)球迷而言，接觸大力神杯可以說(shuō)是在接觸一個(gè)遙不可及的夢(mèng)想。大力神杯在中國(guó)媒體前首次亮相時(shí)，大力神杯的使者、國(guó)際足聯(lián)新聞官馬拉達(dá)斯透露了一個(gè)重大喜訊，中國(guó)有機(jī)會(huì)申請(qǐng)2018年世界杯，并且獲勝機(jī)會(huì)很大。他說(shuō)：“國(guó)際足聯(lián)主席布拉特先生曾以個(gè)人身份多次表示，中國(guó)應(yīng)該申辦2018年世界杯。”但中國(guó)是否會(huì)申辦2018年世界杯，中國(guó)足協(xié)的官員們目前都矢口否認(rèn)。也有一種說(shuō)法，在2008年北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)后，將借著奧運(yùn)東風(fēng)，中國(guó)也有可能申辦2018年世界杯。

As the World Cup trophy arrived in China this week on a global exhibition circuit, sentiment is high in the country for the economic and sports power to bid for the 2018 World Cup.A report from Sports Sina, China's leading online sports media, has confirmed the country's resolution to bid for the 2018 World Cup, citing sources inside the CFA (Chinese Football Association). "This is China's maiden involvement in bidding for the World Cup, and the CFA is making active preparations," read the report, adding, "China is very likely to win out in the competition if all factors are taken into consideration."

The report drew wide attention in a nation that craves for football success despite a long list of flops in international tournaments. "China's decision to bid comes from three aspects: support from FIFA chairman Sepp Blatter; support from China's top sports administration; and the experience the country will gain after the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games," the report continued.

However, a contradictory report appeared the same day on the same site, cooling off the flaring-up sentiment by citing a top CFA official.

"I have yet to hear of this (bidding for the tournament). The decision to bid for the World Cup is not something someone inside FA could make," said Nan Yong, vice president of the CFA. "It is up to China's sports administration or even higher up in the government."

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has thrown his support behind China hosting the soccer World Cup after the country successfully hosted the Asian Cup in 2004.
