Saudi Arabia has been in bidder position of tournament for 10 years. Gianni Infantino has been a strong supporter for and having frequent visits to Saudi Arabia in the past few years according to Daily Expressโ€™ news.

Saudi Arabia is the second country from Middle East that will host Fifa World Cup. Fifa World Cup was previously hosted by Qatar in 2022. It was started in winter season due to weather conditions. 2034 tournament schedule isnโ€™t certain but itโ€™s obvious that it will be held in winter season.

Saudi Arabia goverment has made big investment on football in recent years. County brought superstars like Ronaldo and Neymar to country as a part of marketing campaign. Hosting of World cup seems to be the next level of this marketing campaign.

Question marks are raised due to lack of human right laws in Saudi Arabia. There is still so much time until the organisationโ€™s beginning. Following years will follow us how much change will be made in laws until the beginning day.
