One of the most powerful and economically successful nations in the world, it seems only a matter of time before China host a World Cup. The 2008 Beijing Olympics saw some of the most astounding architecture and aesthetic appeal of any sporting competition in history, surely making a football tournament a walk in the park for such an expansive, populous country. China holds no less than 22 stadiums of 50,000 seats or more, meaning it could realistically hold two simultaneous tournaments with ease. Additionally, 2002 saw Japan and South Korea prove that a Far Eastern World Cup could attract just as much fan support and enthusiasm as anywhere on Earth. Ideal Final Venue: Beijing National Stadium, Beijing - mammoth 90,000 seat home of the 2008 Summer Olympics, affectionately nicknamed the Bird's Nest.
