With Quick Vote and Little Fanfare, Saudi Arabia on Track to Get the 2034 World Cup
Briefly

Saudi Arabia's investment in global sports under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aims to transform the kingdom into a contender for major events, notably securing the 2034 World Cup.
Human rights organizations have expressed concerns over Saudi Arabia's human rights record, warning of potential risks to migrant workers involved in building the necessary infrastructure for the World Cup.
Critics, including fan groups, accuse FIFA of rigging the World Cup bid process by altering voting rules, compelling members to vote for both 2030 and 2034 in a package deal.
The 2034 World Cup is seen as a pivotal opportunity for Saudi Arabia to achieve global visibility, but it's accompanied by serious allegations regarding human rights violations.
