The deal came just a few weeks after the 10 ASEAN member nations agreed to set up a technical working group to look into the possibility of hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup by five countries, namely Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Others that have shown interest in staging the 2034 World Cup include China, Egypt, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and joint bidders Australia and New Zealand./.
