The world footballing body, FIFA, has officially named Saudi Arabia as the host nation of the FIFA World Cup 2034.
The Saudi bid was the only candidate and was acclaimed by the applause of more than 200 FIFA member federations. They took part remotely in an online meeting hosted in Zurich by the soccer body's president Gianni Infantino.
"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.
“We look forward to hosting an exceptional and unprecedented edition of the FIFA World Cup by harnessing our strengths and capabilities to bring joy to football fans around the world,” Prince Mohammed said in a statement.
The decision was combined with approving the only candidate to host the 2030 World Cup. Spain, Portugal , and Morocco will co-host in a six-nation project, with Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay each getting one of the 104 games.
The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
