Riyadh: It is indicated that the 2034 FIFA World Cup will be staged in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s public announcement of his willingness to host the event is considered a clear indication that the venue will be available.
Since the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the warm relationship between FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Prince Salman is expected to help Saudi Arabia. It is also pointed out that FIFA tried to hold some matches of the 2022 World Cup in Saudi Arabia even when relations between Qatar and Saudi Arabia deteriorated.

The 2034 World Cup hosts are Asia and Oceania. The media points out that only Saudi will come forward to organize the tournament. A complete contract of expression of interest for the venue must be submitted by November 30. No one has claimed it yet. Saudi Arabia also has the full support of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which has 47 member countries. AFC President and Bahraini royal family member Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa has declared that the football community in Asia is united behind Saudi Arabia’s World Cup efforts.

Countries like Australia and New Zealand are likely to come forward from Asia and Oceania region. Even if these countries are willing to hold the tournament along with other countries, there will be no more time to make a decision. Australia co-hosted the 2023 Women’s World Cup with New Zealand. It is difficult for these countries to prepare an agreement approved by various governments within eight weeks as it has to go through many levels. But Saudi Arabia, where the monarchy exists, can make decisions and implement them quickly.

Moreover, hosting a big sporting event like World Cup football requires huge financial capacity and infrastructure. Air travel facilities and security are also important. Organizing the 104-match, six-week tournament involving 48 teams requires a lot of preparation and effort. In the current situation, Saudi Arabia has all the capacity to do so. As soon as FIFA’s announcement came, Saudi came forward with this courage. That is what the Crown Prince, Sports Minister and Football Federation President explained the other day.
There were only 32 teams and 64 matches in the Qatar World Cup. In 2034 there will be 48 teams and 104 games. It is a requirement of FIFA that many stadiums should be set up with a seating capacity of at least 40,000 people. Qatar held the tournament in eight stadiums. FIFA’s requirement is to have 14 stadiums by 2034. At least seven should be completed by now. Saudi Arabia has many stadiums in cities like Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. More stadiums are being built for the 2027 Asian Cup. It is believed that the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup venue will be allocated to Australia and Saudi Arabia may be selected for the 2034 World Cup.
The next World Cup in 2026 will be held in America, Canada and Mexico. In 2030, Europe, Africa and Latin America will be launched on the continents.
