Football is England’s number one sport and the venues are designed and built especially for the game. They are designed for playing football, for watching football and for enjoying football in a clean, safe, friendly and modern environment. Of course it’s not just bricks and concrete that make great football venues. English stadiums have no fences, no running tracks and are all-seater. Fans aren’t just spectators, they are close to the action, creating an atmosphere in which football’s stars can really shine. Great venues mean great football. With over $1 billion invested in stadium development in the last decade alone and with even more to come, England offers more than just a promise of great facilities in 2006. In England great venues are already here for you to see and experience. In England, the stage really is set.  I was only a teenager when the last World Cup was played in England. Today, England has everything it takes to stage a major international tournament - above all, the best fotball stadiums in the world. From my own travels, I also believe it means a lot to people the world over to see the World Cup played in England. Thanks to satellite TV, the English game is followed with fervour virtually everywhere. That's because football fans everywhere know that nothing matches the excitement and atmosphere of the English game. Add the glamour of the World Cup and everything's in place for the best global tournament - ever. Sir Elton John CBE
