Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday its intention to bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
Led by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, the bid for 2034 intends to deliver a world-class tournament and will draw inspiration from Saudi Arabia\u2019s ongoing social and economic transformation and the Kingdom\u2019s deep-rooted passion for football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saudi Arabia\u2019s inaugural bid is backed by the Kingdom\u2019s growing experience of hosting world-class football events and its ongoing plans to welcome fans across the world to the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup and 2027 AFC Asian Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflecting on the intention to bid, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasized that Saudi Arabia\u2019s desire to bid for the 2034 FIFA World Cup is a reflection of the Kingdom\u2019s progress in all sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kingdom has quickly emerged as a leading hub and an international destination for hosting major events thanks to its rich cultural heritage, economic strength, and the ambition of its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the Saudi Vision 2030, sport is playing a significant role in contributing to the country\u2019s economic growth and enhancing the quality of life for all and holds a unique ability to unite and bring different cultures together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A renowned host for some of the biggest global sports events since 2018, Saudi Arabia has been home to over 50 international events for both male and female athletes including football, motorsports, tennis, equestrian, esports and golf.
