Saudi Arabia

A Saudi human rights activist says soccer fans visiting Saudi Arabia for the 2034 World Cup will live in a “bubble” that doesn’t reflect real life.

The 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia may have to be held in the winter months due to excess heat in the summer, though no dates are confirmed.

Saudi Arabia’s growing influence and massive spending in global sports ahead of being confirmed by FIFA as the 2034 World Cup host was detailed on Monday in a report.

Cristiano Ronaldo finished the Saudi Pro League by setting the season goal-scoring record on Monday, but rivals Al Hilal won the league title.

Saudi Arabia has formally informed FIFA of its wish to host the men’s World Cup in 2034 in a bidding contest that increasingly looks designed for the country to win.

Some of the world’s biggest stars like Neymar, Karim Benzema and more have departed for Saudi Arabia this summer following Cristiano Ronaldo’s initial move to Al Nassr.

Neymar is set to complete a move to the Saudi Pro League after Al Hilal agreed to a reported $98 million transfer fee with Paris Saint-Germain.

Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal reportedly bid $332 million for Kylian Mbappe, but NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously made his case.

The comments came after Al Nassr’s friendly on Monday, one day after Lionel Messi’s official unveiling with Inter Miami.
