Das added he was confident that the tournament would be awarded to India but said it could not be called a ‘bid’. “FIFA wants us to host it as part of their developmental plan in India. It’s not like there are three or four countries vying for it and a winner will be chosen. So it can’t be called a bid. We have submitted all the papers to them. They wanted it in a specific order to make sure all the necessary things (visa processing, security clearances, etc) are assured by the government. If they need something more specific, they’ll let us know and we’ll make sure it’s done,” Das said.
I was referring to the above passage. If you interpret it correctly, it means that it is not a typical bid where India is facing competition from other nations. FIFA wants India to host it and they are just making sure that the papers are clear. So if AIFF or GOI dont goof up, it will be hosted by Indian
even if we manage to host the WC, we should count cooperage out from the proposed 6 venues...... its gonna be a long battle in the courts regarding the 'HERITAGE ISSUE' ... maybe dy patil stadium can host it, or as usual , games at balewadi stadium which is the recent norm :-P

Exactly but FIFA also need a back-up. Jamaica would be almost perfect for that. India is easily the main one though, no doubt.
