Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — FIFA, the worldwide governing
body of men's football, has announced that Saudi Arabia will host the 2034
tournament, with Spain, Portugal, and Morocco sharing the hosting
responsibilities for the 2030 tournament.
The report said that to
celebrate the competition's 100th anniversary, the 2030 tournament shall
include matches in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay.
The hosts of both World
Cups were confirmed after a vote during Wednesday's Special Fifa Session.
Before the
approval, Fifa Secretary General Mattias Grafstrom said that "all 211
member associations have effectively cast their vote before the
conference" and that there was only one voting option for each of the
three decisions.
Switzerland's
Football Association (FA) said on Tuesday that it will approve Saudi Arabia's
bid to host the 2034 World Cup, but that FIFA and the International Labour
Organization must observe human rights.
Norway decided not to
participate due to "concerns about the current FIFA World Cup bidding
process," not because Saudi Arabia was selected as host.
Bin Faisal al Saud said,
"On this proud day, this is a day of celebration, we invite the entire
world to Saudi Arabia."
"In our kingdom, we
plan to host an extremely fantastic World Cup."
