Australia are up against the United States, Qatar, Japan and South Korea for the right to host the tournament, with a decision to be made on December 2, along with the 2018 tournament.
Lowy said “I believe Australia has the best bid, I know we have the best bid, I know we have convinced many of the FIFA executive committee that we have the best bid. But will we have the critical 13 votes needed to win it? In my heart I really believe so.”
