Throw out Qatar and replace with something else, then the next one and the one after if you wish. That gives you up to three different if you have several options in mind.
To begin with, let's agree on scrapping this nonsense with 48 nations. 32 it is, not a single less not a single more. Discuss all you want about changing how many spots each confederation should get compared to now but I'm more curious about hosts here.
It's not very easy.
To begin with we have this whole football brings people together shtick, and Japan/Korea was a great tournament in many ways. Did it bring Japan and Korea closer? Would a UK/Ireland bid make any difference in relations?
Then we have this not giving it to countries governed by swine. Which might leave half the countries in the world out of the race. China is out for sure? I bet plenty on here would dismiss countries like Poland or Hungary, and that kind of sets the bar where more than half of the countries in the world would be out of the question. If there's to be any consistency. And if Hungary or Poland can bugger off, can UK with it's Brexit get on the same train away from it?
Then we have the (possible) dilemma of someone recently hosting it, not being fair if they get it soon again.
Then there's countries with enough problems where building a bunch of everything it takes and spend billions, will fu** things up even more for only one month the world does its best trying to make them forget what deep shit we've left them in.
So it's kind of getting narrow in the end.
I'm for UK hosting it next time. Everything is in place. Not much needs to be added. As long as greedy politicians and other muppets are kept out of it, it could very well be one of the cheapest world cups organized.
I'm pulling this out my arse now but a Uruguay/Paraguay joint bid?
A joint Scandinavia bid sounds great at first but there are no grounds for this, and travel between the countries would be a bitch considering a very large amount of fans come by train or car, they travel between the venues in car or by train and Sweden especially can't even take care of train travellers now when there's five of them to get from Stockholm to Sundsvall.
Australia seems a rather good option.
A joint (partly)Balkan bid with Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia... well it would be complicated not because they wouldn't get along. Because who's invited and who's not? Does Slovenia get some games, or Montenegro. What about Kosovo? And the grounds need to be rebuilt, all of them, then there's the massive corruption in all countries.
Turkey would perhaps be good if it wasn't for that hitlerish loon Erdogan.
Maybe it should be played on the moon.
But enough of this, where would you have it?
