Prime minister Yves Leterme and his Government in Brussels have endorsed the Belgian Football Association’s plan to co-host the 2018 World Cup by negotiating for a new 60,000 seater stadium.

Options include redeveloping the ageing Heysel Stadium, constructing a brand new stadium in its place or a new stadium in Schaarbeek.

Belgium will bid for the 2018 World Cup with other Benelux countries, but will face competition from Australia, England and Greece amongst others.
