Russia and Qatar will host soccer's biggest tournament, the FIFA World Cup, for the first time in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
Russia headed off 1966 host England and joint presentations from Spain-Portugal and Holland-Belgium in Thursday's vote at FIFA headquarters in Switzerland.
Qatar won the right to host the 2022 tournament ahead of bids from the United States, South Korea, Japan and Australia.
Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin decided against attending the ceremony in Zurich, but his deputy Igor Shuvalov was present to accept the first successful bid from Eastern Europe.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al-Thani, the son of Qatar's emir and head of the emirate's bid team, said he was looking forward to the first time a Middle Eastern nation hosts the event.
"Thank you for believing in change, for expanding the game and for giving Qatar a chance. You will be proud of us -- and you will be proud of the Middle East. I promise you this," he said.

Wow.
Having the FIFA in Russia would mean not just more tourists and attention for the country, but also more attention towards Eastern Europe.
As for Qatar, hosting the FIFA is arguably an extension of their successful hosting of the 2006 Asian Games. That city intends to host the Olympics someday.

Does anyone here wants to see Cebu host the FIFA World Cup?
My ever-optimistic neighbor wants that to happen within 20 years time. She thinks the SRP will have multiple stadiums by then.
