Nottingham will be rolling out the green carpet for the Football Association World Cup 2018 bid team who return to the city today.

The team is returning to assess in more detail the city's suitability as a host city for matches in the World Cup in 2018 following an earlier inspection in the summer.

It follows Nottingham submitting its preliminary bid to the FA, which builds on the outline bid which was submitted in July.

Nottingham residents and businesses are being encouraged to once again show their support for the city's bid - one of 16 cities bidding to become 12 host cities - by wearing the green of the bid on Monday, as well as displaying posters backing the bid, available from the Nottingham Tourism Centre and council receptions.

People can back Nottingham's bid by going to the official England 2018 website by clicking here, then clicking on the link to add support and choose Nottingham as host city, as well as through Facebook by clicking here, and now by text by texting England to 62018 and texting 'nott' when given the option to do so.
