FIFA has officially awarded the hosting rights for the 2034 FIFA World Cup to Saudi Arabia. The decision was confirmed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino during a virtual congress on Wednesday.
With only one bid for both the 2030 and 2034 World Cups, the Saudi Arabian bid was approved by over 200 FIFA member federations.
Infantino expressed enthusiasm about the decision, stating, “We are bringing football to more countries, and the number of teams has not diluted the quality. It actually enhanced the opportunity.”
The announcement was met with widespread applause from FIFA officials, signifying strong support for Saudi Arabia’s bid.
