Saudi Arabia has been announced as the host nation for the 2034 Men's World Cup, with FIFA rubber-stamping the confirmation of the 2030 and 2034 editions of the tournament on Dec. 11.
A joint bid involving Morocco, Portugal and Spain, combined with one game each in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay to mark the centenary of the first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930, will be confirmed by FIFA for 2030 due to being the only bid for that competition's hosting rights.
As the only candidate to stage the 2034 Men's World Cup, Saudi Arabia will become the second Middle East nation to host the tournament after Qatar in 2022.
