FIFA confirms Saudi Arabia as 2034 World Cup hosts

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has officially announced that Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

This decision has been met with mixed reactions.

While some critics argue that it is an attempt to “sportswash” the country’s authoritarian regime and human rights record, many others feel it is deserving for the oil-rich kingdom to host the biggest football fiesta.
