According to reports, FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed confidence in Saudi Arabia’s ability to host a historic World Cup in 2034, stating that the 2036 World Cup will astonish people worldwide.

Infantino said in his speech at the Saudi Investment Forum in Riyadh: “I am happy to be here. Saudi Arabia is making massive investments in football, and in the coming months, we will see Al Hilal participate in the Club World Cup.

This country will host the 2034 World Cup and has extraordinary potential to become a prominent economic hub in the region. This gives Saudi Arabia a unique opportunity to organize a historic edition of the World Cup.

Saudi Arabia’s progress is not limited to men’s football but also includes women’s football, where the country is making significant investments that will yield remarkable results for all.

The World Cup will boost the global football economy, and investing in FIFA—given its significant economic returns, global reach, and unparalleled fan influence—is one of the most powerful sports investments.”
