WM 2034: Saudi Arabia organizes controversial World Cup!

Saudi-Arabien - The tension increases! Today, FIFA announced the award of the next World Cup in a historical step. At the virtual congress, FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that the 2034 World Cup will take place in Saudi Arabia. As early as 2030, the venues were officially approved: Spain, Portugal and Morocco will be hosting together, while Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay are honored for an opening ceremony. According to the FIFA, these decisions were made by an acclamation without opposing candidates, as reported. During his speech,

Infantino relied on a pathetic rhetoric and spoke of a "message of unity" in an increasingly split world. "We want to write history now, we want to combine the world with football, through football," said the Swiss. Despite his passionate commitment to unity, there are violent reviews, especially with regard to the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia. The Norwegian Football Association also expressed its concerns and pointed out the social responsibility of FIFA, which is supported by politics and human rights organizations, such as freenet.de reported. It remains to be seen how FIFA will react to this critical feedback after it has already announced that it does not give any further explanations.
