LONDON - England will withdraw its candidature to host the 2022 World Cup if, as expected, the United States drops its bid for the 2018 event, a top official said on Tuesday.
England, Russia, and the US, plus joint bids from Spain/Portugal and Belgium/Netherlands are all still in the running for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
Australia, Japan, South Korea and Qatar have already declared their intention to concentrate only on 2022.
