The rotation was dropped, but there are still limitations. When a
country wins, any other country from the same federation is blocked from
bidding for the next two. That meant only Asia, Oceania, North America
and Europe could bid for 2018 - but only the USA was willing to go up
against European countries, until they pulled out to compete for 2022,
when they felt they had a better chance without having the compete with
any European countries.

So why did no European country bid for 2022 - and no non-European country for
2018 ?
It may not be official, but I'd bet that 2026 isn't coming to Europe.

Not so. The rota system was canned in 2007. Each tournament is open to bidding,
as we have just seen.

2030 actually - there's a rota that means 2026 will go somewhere other than
Europe.
Only every 3rd tournament is now due to be held on this continent, instead of alternate tournaments as it was until 2006.<<
