FIFA President Sepp Blatter has stated that though the 2022 World Cup will be held in Asia, Qatar the 2026 World Cup will be hosted by India.
"If we have to identify new territories where football can be a better part of life then definitely it is the subcontinent, India, where they have 1.2 billion people," Blatter was quoted as saying by The Telegraph.
