England's run at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar is over after their 2-1 defeat to France saw them exit at the quarter-finals.
Harry Kane's penalty miss proved costly, with the England captain having brought his side level from the spot after Aurelien Tchouameni's opener, only for Olivier Giroud to head the defending champions into the semi-finals.
It means England fans will have to wait another four years for a chance to add to their 1966 triumph, when more sides will be added into the mix as the 2026 World Cup will see it expanded from the current 32 teams to 48 sides all bidding to be crowned world champions.
But, after Qatar, who has been given the honour of hosting the next World Cup and which countries are in contention to host the competition in 2030?

The 60 matches of the 2026 World Cup will be shared across America, Mexico and Canada with 48 teams taking part for the first time ever. The tournament will be hosted across 16 different cities.
America will have every match from the quarter-finals onwards while Canada and Mexico will both host 10 games each in four years. The USA were able to beat a bid by Morocco for the competition.
The host for the 2030 World Cup is yet to be decided, but there are plenty of countries who have shown an interest in hosting the competition and have put a bid in.
Spain, Portugal and Ukraine have joined forces to launch a bid alongside Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece are expected to launch a bid together too with Morocco also interested in being the host nation.
The decision surrounding the host for the 2030 host will be decided at the FIFA Congress in 2024, where the 211 member associates will place their votes on which group is best.
