Saudi Arabia is in line to host the 2034 World Cup after Australia decides against bidding hours before the deadline.

    Oceania is by far the only continent to not have hosted the WC. Australia and New Zealand would be fine.

    But of course FIFA would say their arenas aren’t big enough and some other crap. I know they’re an organisation that has to make profit but with FIFA it seems the focus is solely on money and very little on actual football.

    Also, why couldn’t WC 2030 be entirely in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay and then have Spain, Portugal and Morocco in 2034?

      Australia hosted the Women’s World Cup perfecting find. Any excuses that came out of FIFA is just pure bullshit at this point.

    Nothing more to add, than what everybody already said at this point. I am wondering: how did the WC in Qatar actually fare in terms of reach and sales and what-not? Letting SA and Qatar host are clear corrupt decisions by FIFA execs to get as much cash in their personal pockets as they can but that would only be sustainable if they kept up the viewership of the WC as much as before. Are there any numbers out there?

    This is laughable and depressing. Money over morals. We’re in a shit timeline of these murderers get to sports wash everything.

    On the bright side though, by 2034 they’ll have ruined the sport to the extent that no one’s gonna watch that anyway.
