A FIFA team inspecting Korea’s bid for the 2022 World Cup on Sunday praised the country’s preparation efforts and passion to hold the global event after completing their four-day evaluation trip.
The five-member team, led by Chilean Football president Harold Mayne-Nicholls, arrived in Seoul on Thursday as part of their two-month tour of all the nine bidders vying to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup.
“I was here for the 2002 World Cup. After eight years, I was able to see the legacy is not only the stadiums but seems to be on every body in this country,” said the head of the FIFA team.
