This news comes just a year after neighboring Qatar successfully hosted the inaugural World Cup in the Middle East. The event saw the Saudi national team achieve a remarkable victory over eventual champions Argentina during the group stage, further highlighting the region’s growing prowess in international football.
FIFA, the governing body of world football, also announced its plans for the 2030 World Cup, concurrently inviting nations within the Asian Football Confederation to vie for the hosting rights in 2034.

This strategic emphasis on sports aligns seamlessly with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 reform agenda. The comprehensive plan aims to steer Saudi Arabia towards becoming a thriving tourism and business destination while diversifying the economy beyond fossil fuels. As the kingdom sets its sights on the 2034 World Cup bid, it aspires to redefine its global image and leave an enduring mark on the world of sports.
