Rise of Australia

Chapter 33 Heath Homan
After more than a month of complete renovation of the winery's manor, Arthur moved in with the entire royal family.

The top floor of the former government building has been transformed into a cabinet office, conference room and House of Commons meeting room.

Just a few days after moving in, Arthur's manor welcomed an unexpected guest, Heath Holman from the Netherlands.

This name may not be famous in history, but it has played a very important role in promoting the development of the World Football Association.

Heath Homann, Secretary-General of the Dutch Football Association at the time.

In the late 19th century, the sport of modern football gradually spread from Europe to countries all over the world, especially in more developed countries, where football has evolved into a popular sport.

More and more people are willing to step onto this green field in their spare time to feel the joy and excitement that they have never experienced before.

Even after football entered the Olympic Games for the first time eight years ago, the success of football has also measured the strength of a country in disguise, and football associations in various countries have also broken ground.

But Heath Homann, as the secretary-general of the Dutch Football Association, should have nothing to do with Australia. After all, Australia has neither a football association nor any football clubs.

Although full of doubts, Arthur did not refuse to meet this guest. After all, Heath Homann was one of the first to advocate the establishment of FIFA, which would not be established until four years later.

What does FIFA stand for?The World Cup created by FIFA is one of the most popular sports in the world. The World Cup held every four years has attracted the attention of a large number of countries and people around the world.

For such talents, it is still necessary to win their favor.After all, if you wait until the establishment of FIFA in the future, Arthur can also rely on today's favor to win Australia the opportunity to host the World Cup.

Being able to host such an event will greatly enhance Australia's popularity and attractiveness.

In the living room of the manor, Arthur was receiving this guest from afar.

Heath Homann is an old man who looks ugly, but who would have thought that the Dutch Football Association and the French Football Association led by Heath Homann jointly promoted the establishment of one of the most famous sports associations in the world, FIFA Woolen cloth?
"Mr. Heath Holman, good morning. I don't know if you have come to Australia from a long distance. Is there anything more important?" Arthur asked Heath Holman with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, please allow me to express my intention. Football has developed for a long time in Europe. I think it is time to form a unified football association in the world to manage and coordinate players and games between each national football association. But My point of view has not been recognized by most European countries, or they do not intend to strongly support the establishment of FIFA." Heath Holman was not surprised that Arthur knew his identity, and said straight to the point.

"So? If European countries disagree, you should persuade them. Australia is not capable of getting European countries to agree to jointly establish FIFA." Arthur said with a smile.

Although it seems that the establishment of FIFA is only a matter of clubs and football associations, in fact, without the approval of European governments, the establishment of FIFA is basically impossible.

"Your Highness, it is not that European countries do not support the establishment of FIFA, but they will not do anything for FIFA." Heath Homann shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Unless the FIFA game has to decide that they will do something for FIFA." Champions, otherwise it would be impossible to get their financial support."

Football is also a very competitive sport, and because it has participated in two Olympic Games, every country has paid a lot of attention to football.

Under such circumstances, if the newly established FIFA compromises and decides the champion, it is very likely that the reputation of this newly established organization will be destroyed, or even quickly disbanded.

Heath Holman is not stupid. Although he is looking forward to and eagerly hopes that FIFA will be established, it does not mean that FIFA will compromise with any force.

In fact, as the most authoritative and official organization in the football industry in the future, FIFA must be just and fair.

Therefore, after discussing with the French Football Association, Heath Homann decided to go out to find countries that are willing to support FIFA and will not make too many demands.

"So you think Australia will support you?" Arthur heard the meaning of Heath Homan's words, and asked with a chuckle.

"Why not? Your Highness. If you are willing to support the establishment of FIFA, I can assure you that Australia has the right to host two world football matches within 30 years." Heath Holman said with a smile: "I believe Your Highness, you should also know that football has already had a lot of influence in Europe, and even the football team that wins the Olympic championship will be sought after by the whole country. Under such circumstances, your country’s hosting of world games will attract people from all over the world. With a lot of attention from the world, the benefits created by tourists to your country may be able to pay back. Your Highness can also use the limelight of hosting the competition to greatly increase the influence of your country's immigrants. Your Highness, you only need to pay a little money, such a cost-effective deal Why not do it?"

Heath Homan's vision is very vicious, and he has spotted Australia's need to gain international reputation and increase the attractiveness of immigrants, and he continues to tempt Arthur in this regard.

In fact, the first World Cup was hosted by then-Olympic football champion Uruguay and attracted a lot of attention in South America at the time.

However, due to the urgency of time and the shortage of funds, a large number of teams did not participate in this World Cup, which greatly reduced the influence of this World Cup.

But it cannot be denied that this World Cup was a success. At that time, the arena was almost full, and even Uruguayan officials had to dispatch troops to maintain order.

If Australia can host a World Cup, with plenty of time, it may not be impossible to greatly increase Australia's international influence.

"That's right, I'm a little moved." Arthur laughed, but quickly explained his smile again, and said with a little deep meaning: "If I support the establishment of FIFA, then the headquarters of FIFA will be established again." Where is it?"

This is really a fatal question. Heath Homan looked at Arthur's slightly deep smile and knew that if he said that the FIFA headquarters should be located elsewhere, then this meeting might also end.

　The first update, seeking support, seeking various tickets, seeking collection, seeking investment!
