Guangzhou Evergrande defender Zhang Linpeng tried to stop Frank Ribery in the semi-finals of FIFA Club World Cup. |
China had expressed its willingness to bid to host the FIFA Club World Cup, FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke revealed on Thursday.
Valcke told a press conference that the bid to host the Club World Cups from 2015 to 2018 will start in February and the final decision will be made by the end of September next year.
Several countries including China had showed their interest in hosting the tournament, Valcke added.
A three-member delegation from the soccer management center of China's General Administration of Sports had come to Morocco to watch the games played by Guangzhou Evergrande, the new AFC Champions League titlists.
During their stay, they told FIFA about China's interest in bidding for the Club World Cup.
Among Chinese cities, Guangzhou is the most possible host.
