Should NZ bid for the FIFA u20 Mens World Cup in 2013?
This competition is held every two years, the 2007 tournament was held in Canada & will be followed by Egypt & Colombia.
With the Rugby World Cup two years earlier, Soccer NZ would be able to take advantage of improved infrastructures & stadia in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch & Dunedin. FIFA had nothing but praise for NZ's hosting of the 1999 u17 tournament, similar comment after the u17 womens tournament this year would certainly be beneficial for any future tournament bids.
