Real Madrid now are a best price 11/4 for La Liga after their surprise 1-1 draw with Almeria on Sunday night

A proposal to stage the World Cup finals in South East Asia in 2030 is being considered by members of ASEAN, the Assocation of South East Asian nations, the Singapore FA said on Monday.

Zainudin Nordin, the president of the the Singapore FA said in a statement that the proposal had been made at an ASEAN Foreign Ministers meeting.

“It is possible for ASEAN to jointly host the event in 20 years time and to possibly meet the football standards then due to the aggressive football youth development programmes of ASEAN member nations,” he said.

“A joint bid by ASEAN will raise the international profile of the region and will also unite citizens of the member nations.”

The ASEAN group comprises 10 countries: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Indonesia were also briefly involved in the bidding process for the 2022 World Cup finals before withdrawing their candidature in March last year.

Although any decisions for the 2030 finals will not be made by FIFA for more than a decade, the ASEAN nations are the second party to show an interest, following an announcement last year that Argentina and Uruguay were also considering a joint bid.
