<P> FIFA announced on 29 October 2007 that it will no longer continue with its continental rotation policy, implemented after the 2006 World Cup host selection . The newest host selection policy is that any country may bid for a World Cup, provided that their continental confederation has not hosted either of the past two World Cups . For the 2018 World Cup bidding process, this meant that bids from Africa and South America were not allowed . </P> <P> For the 2022 World Cup bidding process, this meant that bids from South America and Europe were not allowed . Also, FIFA formally allowed joint bids once more (after they were banned in 2002), because there was only one organizing committee per joint bid, unlike Korea--Japan, which had two different organizing committees . Countries that announced their interest included Australia, England, Indonesia, Japan, Qatar, Russia, South Korea, United States, the joint bid of Spain and Portugal and the joint bid of Belgium and Netherlands . </P> <P> The hosts for both World Cups were announced by the FIFA Executive Committee on 2 December 2010 . Russia was selected to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup, making it the first time that the World Cup will be hosted in Eastern Europe and making it the biggest country geographically to host the World Cup . Qatar was selected to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, making it the first time a World Cup will be held in the Arab World and the second time in Asia since the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan . Also, the decision made it the smallest country geographically to host the World Cup . </P> <Table> 2018 Results <Tr> <Th> Nation </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Vote </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Round 1 </Th> <Th> Round 2 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Russia </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Spain / Portugal </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Netherlands / Belgium </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> England </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Eliminated </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Total votes </Th> <Th> 22 </Th> <Th> 22 </Th> </Tr> </Table>
