Saudi Arabia is likely to host the 2034 World Cup after Australia decided not to bid. The move is considered controversial due to Saudi Arabia’s human rights violations, abuses of women’s rights, and criminalization of homosexuality. The country’s investment in sports has been described as “sportswashing” by human rights groups. Saudi Arabia has made high-profile sports acquisitions, including soccer legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. The kingdom’s Vision 2030 project aims to diversify its economy away from oil. The 2030 World Cup will be hosted by Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, with the opening matches in South America.
