New Delhi: The British government has promised full support to the Football Asoociation (FA) if it bids to host the 2018 football World Cup.
An official study into the project has concluded that England is well-placed to stage the competition.
British Chancellor Gordon Brown says, "You've got to win support from round the world. So whenever I go to Asia or Europe or America, and other ministers do, we're putting the case for England getting the World Cup and you can't start too early for 2018."
The final decision on tabling a bid lies with the FA, which spent millions on an unsuccessful attempt to host the 2006 competition.
The country has been weighing up a possible bid since late 2005.
England would be among early favourites to clinch the 2018 tournament, having not hosted the World Cup since 1966.
