Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman calls bid to host world's top football tournament ‘reflection of country’s progress in all sectors’

Saudi Arabia's Football Federation is set to bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, according to the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

“Saudi Arabia’s desire to bid for the 2034 FIFA World Cup is a reflection of the country’s progress in all sectors,” SPA on Wednesday quoted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as saying.

The move fits in with the kingdom’s 2030 vision, in which sports plays a vital role in economic growth.

The Saudi Pro League recently attracted many world-class football stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

Since 2018, Saudi Arabia has hosted more than 50 international competitions of many sports, including football, according to SPA.

The Saudi bid follows Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup, making it the first Arab country to do so.
