The (English) Football Association says it will not make a decision on a formal bid to host the 2018 World Cup until autumn 2006.
Yesterday it was confirmed that Government and Football Association were in early talks about launching a bid.
But the FA has revealed it will not put forward anything definite until at least next autumn.
An application to stage the 2006 World Cup ended in failure after Germany was picked as host.
South Africa is staging the 2010 tournament and under FIFA's rotation policy, the 2014 World Cup should be in South America, almost certainly in Brazil.
