You left out that Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina will also be hosting the opening games, FIFA's way of effectively giving away the 2034 hosting bid to Saudi Arabia. This is absolutely ridiculous and merging two existing bids will only cause chaos due to the three games being hosted in South America, it should have been the Paraguay - Chile - Argentina - Uruguay bid and then Spain - Morocco - Portugal for 2034.

THE GUARDIAN: World Cup 2030 to be hosted in Spain, Portugal, Morocco … and South America

The decision, which caught even seasoned Fifa watchers by surprise, means that World Cup 2030 will involve teams playing in six countries, each of which will qualify automatically. The World Cup has never been played on more than one continent before and proposals for a tournament to be played over thousands of miles was met with shock by climate groups.

 

The decision, and the timing, appeared to pave the way for Saudi Arabia to host the World Cup in 2034 and within hours the kingdom unveiled its bid for that tournament. The Saudis had once been expected to lead a bid alongside Greece and Egypt for 2030, only to stand aside earlier this year. Now, with Fifa inviting bids from Asia and Oceania to host in 2034, the Saudi Football Federation said it intends to bid alone.
 

Fifa is committed to rotating World Cups between confederations and although the Uefa/Caf bid was the favourite for 2030, Conmebol – the South American confederation – has not hosted a World Cup since 2014 and was looking to commemorate the centenary of the first World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930. Infantino said the first match of the 2030 tournament would be held at the Estádio Centenário in Montevideo, the same venue as the first World Cup.
 

It is anticipated that Saudi Arabia will not be the only bidders for 2034 with Australia an interested party, perhaps alongside Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country. There may also be a proposal from China, which once set its sights on hosting the World Cup by 2030. But the Saudis, who are spending billions on football through the Public Investment Fund, appear to be in pole position.
 

Yasser al-Misehal, the president of the Saudi Football Federation, said: “We believe the time is right for Saudi Arabia to host the Fifa World Cup. Our bid is driven by a love for the game and a desire to see it grow in every corner of the world.”

I don't know, I really couldn't give less of a **** about that sport and the country will be overcrowded so it's a nice time to travel I think.

Well, at least we have the stadiums built already. Can't be as financially disastrous as the Euro 2004.

 

:clack:
