"The Ministry of Culture and Sports Affairs pays special attention to the development of football in Kazakhstan and is doing all kinds of work in this direction. However, we note that the issue of hosting the World Cup in Kazakhstan is not being considered, therefore we inform you that our country does not plan to submit an application for the championship," said the news published in "Zakon.kz".
