The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has won the rights to host the FIFA World Cup 2034 after Australia withdrew from the bidding process on Tuesday.
The International Association Football Federation (FIFA) announced the declarations of interest to host the World Cup tournaments in 2030 and 2034.
While Morocco, Portugal, and Spain showed interest in hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup, Saudi Arabia was the only nation to bid on the FIFA World Cup 2034.
“Today, we enter the next chapter of Saudi football: intending to bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup. Our bid is inspired by Saudi Arabia’s transformation journey, the passion of our fans, and a commitment to deliver an amazing tournament,” the Saudi Arabia Football Federation wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The development comes after Australian Football Federation confirmed against bidding for the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
