World Cup 2006

Germany were victorious in a rather bizarre FIFA ballot and will host World Cup 2006.

EURO 2008

A number of nations are likely to submit offers to host EURO 2008. No formal bids are yet prepared but contenders are likely to be a joint Hungary/Austria bid, a joint Scandinavian bid, Russia, Greece and potentially a standalone Scotland bid or perhaps a joint Scotland/Ireland bid. Scotland 2008 or Alba 2008 would provide a wonderful opportunity for the Tartan Army to repay some of the excellent hospitality and welcome that has been received on the many travels Scotland have undertaken in the past.
