FIFA has assessed Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2034 World Cup, categorizing it as a 'very strong' proposition with 'medium' human rights risks. The announcement regarding the hosts for the 2030 and 2034 tournaments is expected on December 11. Due to extreme summer temperatures in Saudi Arabia, the tournament is likely to be scheduled for January, avoiding a clash with Ramadan and aligning with the country's climate conditions. This decision mirrors the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which was also held in winter. The World Football Summit is currently taking place in Saudi Arabia, further highlighting the country's growing role in international football.
