By Greg Stutchbury WELLINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - A potential bid from New Zealand to co-host the FIFA World Cup in 2026 or 2030 could prove "a pipe dream" but the ambitious country are pressing on with the bold plans, Martin Snedden told Reuters. The former New Zealand cricketer, who headed the highly successful 2011 rugby World Cup in the country, floated the possibility of staging soccer's global showpiece with Australia on Monday. "Even if ultimately we choose that we can't do it, these are the sorts of opportunities that we are good enough to be looking at and taking seriously." Snedden, who co-helmed the bid for the recently completed cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand when he was running New Zealand Cricket, had said in the build-up to the 2011 rugby World Cup he hoped the legacy of the tournament would be the creation of an event management industry in the country.
