Содржина: U20 World Cup - Season 21

In our hopeful bid to host the U20 World Cup for Season 21 in Australia, I encourage you all to post all things related to our hopefully successful bid in this thread!

We're up to 16 bids now. That could be a good thing. If the votes are spread around, we may not need as many votes to win

Let me know if you need anything done before the bid deadline.

If you could make a promotional message, I will help to send them out to all the managers come voting time. That is, if we even qualify... can we still host if we don't qualify??

Yes, you can host if you don't qualify:

Portugal has dropped out so it looks like us versus Italy

OK it has been pretty hectic for me in real life for me over the past weeks, but I will try to address a few things right now. I have voted for our bid, obviously, and will send out some promo messages soon. Also, who should I vote for in the U17 WC bids (I can do it, but is it only one vote per country? - if so I can leave it to Malikas)? I have received a telegram for a trade bid in Spain, so I feel inclined to vote them, but I also like the Finland and Portugal bids. Up to you guys!

Paraguay is pretty much a no-chance, and I'm hoping the other voters will see that Italy is just another European host, and they have quite the unusual mascot (can I even call her a mascot?)...

As a manager, you can vote for both the U17s and the U20s. Since we don't have a bid for the U17s, just vote your conscience! We have up to 3 votes per country (one for each manager).

I feel we have the most serious U20 bid. Hopefully others agree! Good luck!

I hope you've voted for our bid too

Lol, of course!!

How do you vote?

Assistants don't get a vote but batigoal said he voted for us.

Great news and horrible news. I'll start with the bad: we cannot qualify for the World Cup... After a stellar first season of qualifying, we have followed it up with an extremely sub-par performance this season for which I deeply apologise.

Now for the great news - we have won the Season 21 U20 Football World Cup bid! And not only this, but we completely smashed BOTH our competitors with a clear majority! These were the final results:

AUS - 37
ITA - 9
PAR - 4

Congratulations on the latter. While a number of people helped, credit should go to Lawrence for driving the bid and making sure it all happened.

It's a pity we won't be able to take part but hosting a World Cup is a great achievement. Well done!

Congrats! Great job organising this!

Perfect, u've done it
