Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), on Wednesday, December 11 confirmed Saudi Arabia as the host of the 2034 World Cup.
New Telegraph recalls that three North American Countries are hosting the next 2026 World Cup including the United States of America (USA), Mexico and Canada.
The announcement was made by FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, after a virtual congress, saying the 2030 and 2034 World Cups each had only one bid.
Over 200 FIFA member federations affirmed the decision with applause.
“We are bringing football to more countries and the number of teams has not diluted the quality. It actually enhanced the opportunity,” Infantino said.
“The vote of the congress is loud and clear,” said Infantino, who had asked officials on a bank of screens to clap their hands at head level to show their support.”
