Twenty-two Fifa executives hold the key to England's 2018 World Cup bid as the fate of its turbulent campaign will be decided on Thursday in Zurich.
England's main rival is likely to be the joint Spain/Portugal bid with Belgium/Netherlands and Russia also in the running.
Ex-England captain David Beckham, Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince William are fronting the England pitch.
"To win would be unbelievable," said current England captain Rio Ferdinand.
"I'm old enough to remember when we had the last championships here - Euro 96 - and that will live with me forever.
"It will enable us to invest in the communities and the facilities that would have been put in place for the future. We would reap the rewards in getting more young people into sports."
England's big moment comes at 1000 GMT, when its five-man 2018 bid team makes its presentation to Fifa's executive committee - which will also decide the hosts of the 2022 competition on Thursday - with Russia presenting its World Cup case an hour later.
As well as Beckham, Cameron and Prince William, England 2018 chief executive Andy Anson and Eddie Afekafe, who works with a Manchester City community football programme, will go before the Fifa decision makers.
