Nov 29, 2024, 11:47 PM
Saudi Arabia has emerged as the sole bidder for hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup, receiving the highest evaluation score in the history of the event with 419.8 out of 500 points. FIFA's assessment, which included inspection visits, has cleared Saudi Arabia for ratification in December. The bid was deemed 'medium risk' on human rights issues, with hopes for future reforms to address these risks. Additionally, the timing of the tournament remains undecided, factoring in considerations like heat and the timing of Ramadan and Hajj. The evaluation also noted a 'low risk' in terms of sustainability commitment and environmental protection.
