Emblem, Jakarta - Palembang 2018

The Energy of Asia lies in the diversity of it’s culture, heritage, and legacy. When all these elements come together, they will be a major force to reckon in the world.

The same principle applies to Indonesia, home to hundreds of ethnic groups speaking many different languages. Our Founding Fathers had envisioned a strong and united nation under the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika philosophy.

That is why we decide to propose three different animals as the official game’s mascot. Also in correlation to Asian Games, each of these animals represents an aspect of the sport competition such as strategy, speed and power.

    

Mascot 

BHIN BHIN: 

Bhin Bhin is a bird of paradise (Paradisaea apoda) that represent strategy.

ATUNG: 

Atung is a Bawean deer (Hyelaphus kuhlii) that represents speed.

KAKA: 

Kaka is a single-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) that represents strength.

2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup — the Bidding Nations

Following the selection of the 2006 World Cup hosts, FIFA had decided on a policy for determining the hosts of future editions. The six world confederations—roughly corresponding to continents—would rotate in their turn of providing bids, for a specific edition, from within their member national associations. This system was used only for the selection of the 2010 (South Africa) and 2014 World Cup (Brazil) hosts, open only to CAF and CONMEBOL

members, respectively.

In September 2007, the rotation system came under review, and a new system was proposed which renders ineligible for bidding only the last two World Cup host confederations.^[11] This proposal was adopted on 29 October 2007, in Zürich, Switzerland by FIFA's Executive Committee. Under this policy, a 2018 bid could have come from North America, Asia, Europe, or Oceania, as Africa and South America are ineligible. Likewise, no CONMEBOL member could have made a 2022 bid, and candidates from the same confederation as the successful 2018 applicant will be disregarded in the 2022 selection procedure.

After the United States, the last non-European candidate in the 2018 bidding cycle, withdrew its bid for that year, it now means that the 2018 tournament will be held in Europe. This in turn means that South America and Europe will be ineligible for 2022.
