  • The assumption is that the 2034 World Cup can't be played in summer, due to Saudi Arabia's heat. But a move to winter might conflict with Ramadan, and might meet resistance.

Saudi Arabia has been confirmed as the host for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, following Australia's decision to withdraw its bid. This announcement came after FIFA's invitation for bids from Asia and Oceania, with Saudi Arabia being the only nation to submit a bid by the October 31 deadline. The confirmation was made by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, marking a significant moment for Saudi Arabia as it continues its push into global sports. This event aligns with the country's Vision 2030 initiative, aimed at diversifying its economy and enhancing its international image through sports. The decision has sparked discussions on the implications for football, human rights, and the geopolitical landscape, given Saudi Arabia's efforts to host major international events.
