Winterton Rangers could be a training ground for international footballers at the 2018 World Cup, reports the Scunthorpe Telegraph.

Hull is bidding to be a host city in England's bid, with FIFA, football's governing body, set to make the final call in December 2010.

Campaigners in Hull will find out if they have been successful with their bid next month.

Project leader Mark Blackbourne said: "Public training would take place at Winterton Rangers."

Winterton's club chairman Dave Crowder said hosting international players would be a huge honour for the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division side.

He said: "I think it's justification for all of the hard work we have put in. We started the renovation in 2003.

"If it all goes through we will have international players here - it would be amazing to see Brazil here. It's lifted us all bit to be fair.

"When we started the renovation, it was about securing the long term future, building in longevity and quality.

"But we would never in a million years have believed we would have something like this."
