Saudi Arabia to host 2034 FIFA World Cup

FIFA confirmed on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 Men's World Cup, while the 2030 edition will be held in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with additional matches in three South American countries. The decision was announced by FIFA President Gianni Infantino following a virtual extraordinary Congress. The 2030 and 2034 World Cups each had only a single bid and both were confirmed by acclamation."We are bringing football to more countries and the number of teams has not diluted the quality. It actually enhanced the opportunity," Infantino said about the 2030 World Cup. The combined proposal from Morocco, Spain and Portugal will see the 2030 World Cup take place across three continents and six nations, with Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay hosting celebratory games to mark the tournament's centenary. Uruguay held the first World Cup in 1930, while Argentina and Spain have also staged the tournament. Portugal, Paraguay and Morocco will all be first-time hosts.

Both bids have already come under fire.The decision to host the 2030 World Cup across three continents has been panned by climate activists because of the increased emissions from the extra travel required.FIFA has said it will take measures to "mitigate the environmental impact". The 2034 bid by Saudi Arabia has been criticised because of the country's human rights record and desert climate, much in the same way as the Qatar World Cup."FIFA's reckless decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia without ensuring adequate human rights protections are in place will put many lives at risk," Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International's Head of Labour Rights and Sport, said in the statement on Wednesday.
