FIFA World Cup Finals - Awarding of host nation; democratization

Proposal to make the awarding of the host nation of future FIFA World Cup finals more 'democratic' as far as football fans perceive it.

• Any person becoming a member of a football club affiliated to FIFA automatically becomes a member of 'Club FIFA'; receiving benefits such as newsletters, exclusive web content, and priority ticket application rights for FIFA tournament tickets.
• After final candidates for World Cup Final hosts are announced;

1. 'Club FIFA' members securely vote for their preferred host nation
2. Their preference cannot be the nation of their club, residence or their nationality (if different).
3. The host nation chosen by 'club FIFA' automatically receives the equivalent of 8 FIFA executive member votes (thereby making the total number of votes to be 30), or
4. The host nation chosen by 'club FIFA' automatically receives the equivalent of 56 FIFA affiliated association votes (thereby making the total number of votes to be 264)
