How Are Major Tournament Hosts Selected?

[sjg11]

A question I've wondered for years- on what basis are major tournament hosts selected in game? Is it based on size of country or footballing reputation? Is there a set of list of countries who can host each major tournament and the game cycles between them? 

There must be a system for allocating them so I kind of wonder what it is. Like, if major tournament hosts are selected based on footballing reputation does that mean that, if you improve a nation's club teams and national team, you make it more likely that said team can host a major tournament? 

Anyone know more about this one?

I think that there are a list of pre-programmed hosts of major tournaments, it's a shame as it would be nice to build up a nation and have them be able to host major tournaments.
