Saudi Arabia Prepares for 2034 World Cup

Saudi Arabia confirms readiness to host 64 teams for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, with its Public Investment Fund shifting strategy toward sustainable football infrastructure.

Saudi Arabia, designated as host for the 2034 FIFA World Cup 1.5 years ago, asserts it is prepared for the challenge of accommodating 64 teams. The country's Public Investment Fund has changed its strategic direction, ending support for the LIV golf circuit and pausing artificial ski projects while maintaining focus on football development.

The fund's new approach emphasizes "sustainability" and "control" with infrastructure positioned as a growth model, evidenced by the recent acquisition of top division club Al-Kholood by American investor Ben Harburg. newsbetting.bond
