Nov 30, 2024, 09:15 AM
FIFA has published its bid evaluation report for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, with Saudi Arabia as the sole bidder. The Saudi Arabia bid received the highest evaluation score in the history of the event, attaining 419.8 out of 500 points. Despite classifying the human rights risk as 'medium,' FIFA expressed optimism that hosting the tournament has 'good potential' to spark future reforms in the country. The report also notes that the tournament date is yet to be determined, with considerations for extreme heat, Ramadan, and Hajj. Additionally, some proposed host cities are not yet built. FIFA's evaluation deemed the bid as low risk in terms of sustainability commitment and environmental protection.
