  Critics have objected to the bidding process, and human rights groups have raised concerns about workplace safety for the migrants who will build the stadiums needed to host the event.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 10, 2024, discusses Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup and the associated human rights concerns. It highlights the international scrutiny over Saudi Arabia's human rights record, including issues like freedom of expression, women's rights, and the treatment of migrant workers. Critics argue that hosting such a high-profile event could be used as "sportswashing" to improve the country's image. Despite these concerns, Saudi officials have promised significant investments in infrastructure and have committed to reforms aimed at improving human rights conditions. The article also mentions FIFA's guidelines on human rights for host countries, and how Saudi Arabia's bid is part of a broader strategy to diversify its economy and increase its global influence through sports.
