FIFA Names Saudi Arabia as Host of 2034 World Cup

2034 World Cup Saudi Arabia

FIFA has officially named Saudi Arabia as the host for the 2034 World Cup, marking a major milestone in the country’s Vision 2030 plan. The announcement took place during the Extraordinary FIFA Congress on 13 December 2024. With this decision, Saudi Arabia becomes the second Middle Eastern nation to host the prestigious tournament, following Qatar in 2022.

A Historic First for the 2034 World Cup

For the first time ever, the 2034 World Cup will feature 48 teams, expanding from the previous 32-team format. Matches will be spread across five cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha, and the futuristic city of Neom. With 15 state-of-the-art stadiums, the event will offer a compact and immersive experience for fans. The country’s well-developed transport network will make travel between cities simple and quick.

This selection fits perfectly with Saudi Arabia’s larger goals to become a global sports leader. As part of Vision 2030, the country aims to diversify its economy and raise its profile worldwide, with football playing a key role. Hosting the World Cup will provide a chance for Saudi Arabia to highlight its rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and modern infrastructure to the world.

Along with the 2034 Word Cup announcement, FIFA also confirmed Morocco, Spain, and Portugal as co-hosts for the 2030 World Cup. Moreover, special centenary matches will be taking place in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay. This dual announcement shows FIFA’s commitment to bringing countries together through football and expanding the tournament’s reach across continents.

With a decade to go until the event begins, Saudi Arabia is preparing to deliver a World Cup that promises not only top-tier football but also a lasting impact on the region and the world.
