No surprises, here's where the 2034 World Cup will be held
The 2034 World Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has been confirmed as the host of the 2034 World Cup.

The news confirms an outcome expected for more than a year since FIFA accelerated the bidding process for the 2034 World Cup. The decision has been widely condemned by human rights groups, who have cited arbitrary detentions, abuse and deaths of migrant workers and the suppression of women and minority rights in the country. The English Football Association is understood to have backed the bid at the congress.

Saudi officials have promised that the World Cup will be part of a “tremendous transformation journey” for the country. Its bid document argues that the country has “championed a human rights approach” through the bidding process and is committed to “managing risk and maximizing positive social impact throughout the tournament.”

The country will embark on a major construction project with 11 new stadiums needed to support a World Cup that will include 48 teams. The tournament will be held in five cities, with the capital, Riyadh, hosting eight stadiums. Due to the region's high summer temperatures and the timing of Ramadan, the tournament is likely to take place in January and February.

Last year, FIFA gave countries just a month to express interest in hosting the World Cup and changed its infrastructure rule to allow countries with fewer suitable stadiums to bid. Saudi Arabia was the only country to officially express an interest.
