Burnham says it is ‘insane’ World Cup has not been hosted in UK since 1966

Andy Burnham has described it as 'insane' that the UK has not hosted a football World Cup since England staged the tournament in 1966. Burnham questioned whether European and global football authorities have a bias against the UK, stating the situation makes him wonder if governing bodies 'have something against us.' His comments reignite debate around the UK's long absence from World Cup hosting duties, nearly six decades after their only hosting of the event.
