Mexico also submitted a bid, but withdrew theirs on 28 September 2009, while Indonesia had their bid rejected for lack of government support on 19 March 2010 . Five of the remaining nine bids, South Korea, Qatar, Japan, Australia and United States were only for the 2022 World Cup, while all the others bid for both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups . However, since all of the bids for the 2018 World Cup were from European nations, and FIFA's rules dictate that countries belonging to confederations that hosted either of the two preceding tournaments are not eligible to host, all of these bids were forced to be for 2018 only . Four bids came from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), four from Europe's UEFA, and one from CONCACAF . It had also been reported on the FIFA website that Egypt was entering a bid, but the president of the Egyptian Football Association denied that any more than an inquiry in principle had been made . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> 2018 bids </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Belgium & Netherlands </Td> <Td_colspan="5"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> England </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Russia </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Portugal & Spain </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 2022 bids </Th> <Td> Australia </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Japan </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Qatar </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> South Korea </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> United States </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Cancelled bids </Th> <Td> Indonesia </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mexico </Td> <Td> 2018 bid </Td> <Td> 2022 bid </Td> <Td> Cancelled bid </Td> <Td> Ineligible in 2018 </Td> <Td> Ineligible in both </Td> </Tr> </Table>
