The Rise of Australia

"Your Highness, football has won widespread attention and popularity in Europe. If FIFA's headquarters is set up outside Europe, will there be too many problems?" Heath Homan asked bravely.

Although Heath Homan also knew that it was basically impossible to take away FIFA's presence in Arthur's hands, Heath Homan still wanted to bite the bullet and give it a try.

"Oh? What are the specific questions? Can Mr. Heath Homan talk about it in detail?" Arthur looked at Heath Homan with a little interest and said with a chuckle.

Seeing that Arthur was not so arrogant, Heath Homan was overjoyed and said quickly: "Your Highness, currently, most of the countries in the world that have football associations or are about to establish football associations are in Europe. This also represents the FIFA association. It is welcomed and recognized by Europe. I think FIFA should be based in Europe, so that it can be more convenient to manage football matters and organize large-scale events. After all, Europe is the center of the world, and so is football."

After looking at Arthur's face and realizing that Arthur did not show any dissatisfaction or anger because of his words, Heath Homan continued with confidence: "If FIFA is to be based outside Europe, then , there are not many football associations and football clubs in other regions, and football is not that popular. Secondly, FIFA must be used to manage and coordinate football affairs around the world. If it is outside Europe, it will handle the world. Things may be a little troublesome, and organizing events will not receive response from most countries around the world, especially in Europe, due to distance and time.”

What Heath Homan said is actually correct. Historically, this was the case for the first World Cup organized by the World Football Federation. Because it was held in South America, most European countries did not participate. The influence of the first World Cup was only It is relatively large in South America.

But Arthur doesn't care about so much. If Australia supports the establishment of FIFA, then its base must be in Australia. Australia should also have priority in hosting events. This is Arthur's bottom line.

Arthur is not a philanthropic person. No matter how much money he has, he will not spend it in vain to contribute to FIFA.

If Arthur wants Arthur to support them in establishing FIFA, then FIFA will have to pay something in the future to get Arthur's support.

"This is not a problem, Mr. Heath Homan. FIFA is a unified football association around the world. We cannot limit our sights to Europe just because of the current development of football. If you are willing to put FIFA's headquarters in Australia, then Australia will also support you in establishing FIFA, and is willing to contribute its own efforts to FIFA events." Arthur's words seemed to be debating, but in fact there was a hint of determination and determination hidden in the painting. threaten.

"Your Highness, if FIFA is thousands of miles away in Australia, then I am afraid that the various competitions organized by FIFA will not be welcomed by Europe. Due to time and distance reasons, coupled with financial restrictions, I may participate in the event in the future. There won’t be many countries participating in the competition.” Heath Homan quickly reminded.

Heath Homan also felt a hint of threat in Arthur's words. Although Australia's current demands are not excessive compared to those of European countries, who can guarantee that FIFA will not be affected by the Australian government in the future?

After all, you have to bow your head when you are under the roof of others.

"Mr. Heath Homan doesn't have to worry about this. If FIFA really wants to host a large-scale tournament around the world in the future, Australia is willing to pay all the expenses of this event, including any clubs and national teams. Travel expenses. I believe Mr. Heath Homan has also seen Australia's sincerity. If Mr. Heath Homan still doesn't believe it, then he can only say sorry." Arthur waved his hand to interrupt Heath Homan's defense. He stood up and said with a chuckle.

They want Australia's support, but they don't want Australia to gain any benefits. Arthur could only say that Heath Homan was being fanciful.

FIFA and the World Cup created by FIFA are still extremely influential sports institutions and events even in later generations.

If it can seize early control of FIFA at this opportunity, Australia can also rely on future World Cups to greatly improve its international reputation and immigration attractiveness.

For a newly born country like Australia, international reputation and immigration attraction are the two most important things. If you want countries around the world to recognize you as a powerful country, then you must at least let the whole world know you, right?

"Okay, Your Highness. I agree to your conditions. I will explain to the French Football Association that FIFA will be created as soon as possible and the FIFA headquarters will be transferred to Australia." Heath Homan struggled for several times, but finally refused. He was willing to give up the great deeds of founding FIFA, which was enough to keep him in football history, and chose to compromise with Arthur.

"Very well, Mr. Heath Homan, you made the most correct choice." Arthur said with a smile: "Australia will fully support you, lobby the European football associations to create FIFA, and elect you to become the first FIFA president." A Secretary-General.”

As the saying goes, hit a stick and give a sweet date. After taking a lot of benefits from Heath Homan, Arthur did not mind pushing him to the high position of the head of FIFA, allowing him to truly go down in football history.

"Then thank you, Your Highness. Please rest assured that after I return to Europe, I will quickly unite with the football associations of France and other countries to speed up the process of creating FIFA. Please also prepare the funds needed in advance. The construction of FIFA will begin as soon as the end of this year." Heath Homan finally no longer looked like before, and his face began to be full of joy and excitement.

The reason why Heath Homan was anxious to create FIFA was that he wanted to leave a mark in the history of football development and to really promote the rapid development of football.

As the Secretary General of the Dutch Football Association, Heath Homan's love for football is not untrue.

But if you have to compare it with your own reputation, perhaps only Heath Homan himself knows whether love is important.

The development of things obviously makes Heath Homan very satisfied. The establishment of FIFA is developing in a good direction, and Heath Homan has also received Arthur's commitment and is willing to push him to be the first FIFA player in the future. Secretary-General's throne.

The dual satisfaction of career and love made Heath Homan, a man in his late fifties, once again feel the excitement and excitement he had not felt for a long time.
