FIFA have confirmed Saudi Arabia as the hosts of the 2034 World Cup.
The decision was made by FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, following a virtual congress.

The 2030 and 2034 World Cups each had only a single bid and both were confirmed by acclamation by the applause of more than 200 FIFA member federations.
“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 vote of the congress is loud and clear,” said Infantino, who had asked officials on a bank of screens to clap their hands at head level to show their support.

Saudi Arabia was the only bidder for the 2034 edition of tournament.

“This is a historic moment for Saudi Arabia and a dream come true for all our 32 million people who simply love the game,” Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal Al Saud, the president of the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee, said.

“The Kingdom is on a remarkable journey of transformation under Vision 2030 and today is another huge step forward that reflects and celebrates our progress while looking ahead to an even brighter future.”
