Prime Minister Theresa May has backed the idea to bring the 2030 World Cup to the UK and Ireland.

Theresa May revealed she would provide Government support if the English Football Association (FA) decide to make an official bid.

The FA's of England, Ireland, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are currently working and putting together a proposal.

Mrs May, speaking on eve of the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, said: 'Following the excitement of this summer's World Cup, the English FA are working together with the FAs of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland to explore whether there could be a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup.

'The decision on whether to bid is, of course, for the football associations to make. But if they decide to go forward, they can count on this government's full support.'

Labour also welcomed the announcement and sport secretary Tom Watson pointing out it had also backed the plan in July.

The deputy party leader added: 'I'm delighted that the Prime Minister has followed Labour's lead and is willing to back a bid.

'This summer's World Cup and the performance of England inspired the nation.

'In 2030, it's time for football to come home.'

However, London and Glasgow will host 11 games in the European Championship in 2020 with Wembley hosting the semi-finals and the final.

Over the last six years, the UK has successfully hosted the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the 2014 Tour de France Grand Depart and the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
