BANGKOK - Southeast Asian countries signed a deal with soccer’s global governing body FIFA on Saturday to jointly boost the sport as its president said he was happy with the region’s plan to bid for the 2034 World Cup.
“After some decades of discussions between all the ASEAN countries, finally, we found the one topic that unites everyone. It’s this, it’s football,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said at the deal’s signing ceremony. The idea of ASEAN hosting the World Cup was first mooted at the beginning of the decade and advocates say the move could help the region’s profile and integration.
