USA: Hosting World Cup worth billions

The U.S is one of 10 bidders looking to host either the 2018 or 2022 tournaments.

U.S. football president Sunil Gulati presided over meetings in New York to discuss the campaign and develop plans for the final push leading up to the decision on the hosts for the two tournaments by world football's governing body FIFA in December 2010.

"The meeting marks an important milestone for our bid as we now start the second and final stage of our bid campaign," Gulati said in a statement.
