Sebastian Coe has been appointed as a nonexecutive board member of England's 2018 World Cup bid team.

Coe will continue to chair the London Organising Committee for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"Winning the World Cup would be the hat trick in a golden era for the UK following the Olympics in 2012 and the Commonwealth Games in 2014," said Coe. - BBC
