Albion's Amex Stadium has been included on the long list of 17 stadia for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The final selection of up to 12 venues will be announced early next year.
The long list also includes Southampton's St Mary's Stadium.
The Argus revealed last month that Albion are vying with Saints to be selected as a South Coast venue for the rugby showpiece.
