2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia
Before the World Cup in 2022, most of the European football organizations had accused Qatar of human rights violations. Although in the end all controversies were left behind and the Asian country organized this global event with success.
As no country bid against Saudi Arabia to host the 2034
World Cup, it was almost certain to get the hosting rights. But Saudi Arabia,
like Qatar, has been accused of human rights violations.
It created controversy. FIFA has officially announced Saudi
Arabia as the host of the 2034 World Cup in an online congress on Wednesday.
The country's football fans celebrated in Riyadh, the
capital of Saudi Arabia, assuming that the host was getting the rights. They
began to gather in the city of Riyadh from the evening.
After the official announcement, their level of joy
increased. In all, 23 stadiums will host World Cup matches. The Saudi
Federation had originally planned to have the opening and final matches at the
King Salman Stadium. But it is still under construction.
Construction will be completed in 2032. Considering the
heat, this World Cup can be held in winter like Qatar.
FIFA has also officially announced the name of the host of
the 2030 World Cup. 2030 World Cup will be organized in six countries of three
continents. FIFA announced the names of Europe's Portugal and Spain, Africa's
Morocco and South America's three neighboring countries, Uruguay, Argentina and
Paraguay.
Portugal, Spain and Morocco will be the main hosts. But in
2030, the centenary of the World Cup is going to be completed. That is why the
opening ceremony and the first match will be held in Uruguay, the host country
of the first World Cup. The next two matches will be in Argentina and Paraguay
respectively. And all the remaining matches will be in Portugal, Spain and
Morocco.
