England 2018 bid team joins rivals at Soccerex ‘09

England’s bid team for the 2018 World Cup hosting rights have confirmed they will be joining the rival bidding teams from Russia, Japan, Australia, Holland and Belgium and Qatar at the Soccerex 2009 conference in Johannesburg.

The England team will use the conference as a venue to talk about the recent changes to its structure and plans for the future. The team recently added to its ranks the former Arsenal FC vice-chairman David Dein, who is a regular attendee at the Soccerex conferences.

The organisers of the Soccerex conference say it offers World Cup bidding nations the perfect occasion to market their bids in front of FIFA Executive Committee members, other leaders in the wider football business, and the global media.
