Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup, FIFA President Gianni Infantino officially announced on Tuesday.
“The bidding processes were approved by consensus via the FIFA Council – where all six confederations are represented – after constructive dialogue and extensive consultation. Thank you to everyone who has participated in this positive exchange,” Infantino wrote on Instagram.
Saudi Arabia was on its way to hosting the tournament after Australia decided on Tuesday against bidding, leaving KSA’s offer as the sole bid.
