The United States Soccer Federation has submitted a bid with the hope of hosting either the 2018 or 2022 Fifa World Cup . The United States previously hosted the FIFA World Cup in 1994, as well as the FIFA Women's World Cup in 1999, and 2003. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama wrote a letter to FIFA President Sepp Blatter in support of the American bid.

Roughly $14 million will be needed to make sure Orlando's Citrus Bowl is up to snuff if Central Florida is to host a World Cup match, but the investment would likely pay off, big time.

The World Cup happens every four years. So far, the USA Bid Committee has pared down the list of prospective host cities to twenty-seven. Orlando is one of four in Florida to make the cut.

The reason why this is such a big deal is that the World Cup is huge for tourism. Having the World Cup in Orlando could be more of an economic impact than the Super Bowl.

If Orlando scores the World Cup, three to five games would be played here. The rest would be spread out across the country. Each match produces a local economic impact of around $100 million.

FIFA is expected to announce its world cup picks next year. Ultimately, if Orlando makes the cut, the City Council will have to vote again to make it happen.
