Saudi Arabia Confirmed as 2034 Men's FIFA World Cup Host Nation

FIFA also confirmed the joint bid of Spain, Portugal and Morocco for the 2030 World Cup on Wednesday.
The 2034 World Cup will mark only the second time the global event has been held in a Middle Eastern nation, joining the 2022 World Cup, which emanated from Qatar.
Saudi Arabia has qualified for the FIFA World Cup on six occasions, only managing to make it out of the group stage once in 1994.
As the host nation, Saudi Arabia will automatically be part of the field at the 2034 World Cup and will not be required to qualify.
Saudi Arabia has become a major player on the international sports scene in recent years, funding LIV Golf, hosting multiple WWE pro wrestling and boxing events every year and becoming part of the Formula One racing circuit with the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia has become a destination for some big-name soccer players, including the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed with Al Nassr of the Saudi Pro League in December 2022.
As a result of the country's increased sporting footprint, Saudi Arabia has been widely accused of sportswashing, which is the act of using sports as a means of covering up or minimizing human rights violations.
Despite the controversy surrounding the choice, FIFA is moving forward with Saudi Arabia as the World Cup host a decade from now.
Before then, the United States, Mexico and Canada will hold a joint World Cup in 2026, followed by the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
