The Mexican Football Federation reported that, following consultations with all divisions that comprise professionals, has decided to formally separate from the bidding process to organize the FIFA World Cup 2018 and 2022.
That was informed by an a press realese by Mexican Football Federation.
The decision is based on two premises, the global economic environment and infrastructure investment requirements of myself and others.
(Mexico hosts 1986 World Cup)
The current global economic environment and short-term outlook does not allow the authorities of the Federation, or local and federal governments make commitments to finance investment in time necessary works for the magnitude of this event.
It is recalled that an event of this type requires that at least ten organizations participating in the organization.
Regarding the second premise, the analysis of the infrastructure of football itself as the cities where they meet, the pathways of communication between them and the services available to impose requirements in public and private investment today is virtually impossible to commit to the medium term.
In Mexico we have a sufficient number of stages to complete the competition, but most of these stadiums were built several years ago under the standards that FIFA ruled. Today, these same stages require significant investment levels. Economic efforts include several football teams have stadiums such as Santos, Chivas and Monterrey shortly.
Finally, we express our satisfaction with the tendering model FIFA has imposed since the two processes have been included in this World Cup bid, has allowed all interested countries sufficient time to prepare for events. On being informed of this decision, FIFA has responded by showing a full understanding, and underlined the professionalism and fair play shown at all times by the Mexican Football Federation over the bid process.
Jerome Valcke, General Secretary of world football's governing body said: "Although Mexico, which is one of the leading nations in world football and has previously organized two editions of the FIFA World Cup (in 1970 and 1986), has chosen finally for not keeping his candidacy-at least for once-a third World Cup, FIFA would like to thank the family of Mexican soccer participation in this 'competition'. obviously completely respect that decision and we are pleased to continue cooperate with the Mexican Football Federation, with his sights set on another beautiful common goal, the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2011, which preparations are on track.
