There has been no comment from FIFA supremo Sepp Blatter, though he is known to be keen to see the beautiful game go truly global. If Blatter plans to continue his presidency
indefinitely, then the frozen wastes of the Antarctic continent will be an ideal environment for him and his pals to be cryogenically preserved. Not so good for the footballers but that is a minor consideration and the Wags will be delighted at the offer of free fur coats to keep them nice and warm. Switching the 2022 Qatari World Cup to the winter was thought to be a good attempt at acclimatisation for the squads, until it was pointed out that the winter temperature in Qatar will still be about 25 
degrees. The mascot marketing strategy will also have to be rethought as it has been pointed out that there are no polar bears in Antarctica. The only minor potential setback to Antarctic 2026 would be the melting of the ice shelves thanks to global warming. However, if FIFA want the game to cover the planet then at some stage they will have a tournament on the sea bed.

The melting of the ice shelves would have the twin advantages of making the under-soil heating unnecessary, and making the oil reserves far more accessible. Which would then mean that Antarctica would be as rich as Qatar.
Everyone's a winner.
Brilliant Archdruid Eileen. By the way, I've discovered there are two Facebook groups supporting the bid.
