Sunderland is a Candidate Host City for the 2018/2022 FIFA World Cup
Sunderland has been chosen alongside 11 other cities to be included in the bid to bring the World Cup to England for the first time since 1966.
A successful bid for England would mean qualifying matches during the World Cup finals would be played at the Stadium of Light. And, it is estimated that staging games in Sunderland could bring tens of millions of pounds to the North East and leave a lasting legacy for decades to come.
