Although there is still more than a decade left, the location for the 2034 World Cup has already been announced. The tournament will return to Asia, after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is held in that region. For the next edition, Saudi Arabia, which was the only candidate after Australia's decline, will be responsible for organizing the most prominent event in global football. Gianni Infantino , the president of FIFA , made the important announcement through his social media accounts on Tuesday, October 31.
As it is public knowledge, the host countries for the 2026 and 2030 World Cups are already known. In these editions, the hosts will be shared, even involving more than two continents in the planning of the centennial tournament. However, for 2034, there will be a significant change, as the organization will fall on a single country, as confirmed by the president of FIFA.
