| 1. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 31st Dec 2025. 16:40 FIFA prostituting itself to the highest bidder yet again..... 😒 https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/fifa-president-infantino-makes-bold-claim-about-cristiano-ronaldos-saudi-pro-league-growth-ahead-of-2034-world-cup/ At what time of the year and what time of day will the 2034 WC be played, and what kind of experience can fans expect in Saudi Arabia? Is it just me, or is money FIFA`s only consideration when deciding where to stage a WC? Back to the Middle East after only 12 years. Whatever happened to the promised continental rotation? When will Asia, Africa, or Australia see a(nother) WC, if ever?  Not your average Sunday League player. Post Edited (Wed 31 Dec 16:42) Reply |

| 3. Author: neils Date: Wed 31st Dec 2025. 17:10 Was it not confirmed a few months ago? Was originally Australia also interested but pulled out. It`s a farce, this country should not be hosting a sporting tournament - what about female fans, gay and lesbian fans? A farce Africa will have a couple host with Morocco in the 2030 WC, I believe Egypt made some noises originally to be interested- economically they are a mess, politically a disaster. As for Morocco, they certainly have the stadia and infrastructure, not to mention fans, but again, there have been quite big local protests at the huge cost, the Moroccan economy is not working for many. I love the WC, I tend to watch every game, and I`ve worked every tournament for 24+ years, but I`m not working this tournament probably, I`m wondering if this one is when I lose my love of it.

| 5. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Wed 31st Dec 2025. 19:08 I barely watched WC2022 because of the fact it was in Qatar and their record. Wont watch much of WC2026 due to the times of the games. Can imagine I wont watch much of WC2034 either. Football is just a sell out these days. Most money wins. How much have the Saudis paid Fifa to waive Ronaldos ban from qualifiers? Go look at Ian Hislop tearing Gary Neville a new one on HIGNFY about Qatar. Calls out numerous others as well and his points are valid. Neville looks very silly at the end of it and rightly so. This World Cup next year is going to end up a complete farce from the atmosphere side as stadiums will be massively diluted by neutrals. But no doubt Infantino and Trump will claim its the greatest ever. Reply |

| 7. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 4th Jan 2026. 01:13 The World Cup is becoming too big. It was 24 teams at USA 94. It’s 48 at USA 2026. There’s not that many countries that can deal with that many games/fans and when you look at the costs, there’s even less that want to. There’s definitely corruption and FIFA doing everything they can to rinse as much out of it as possible and now it’s became a logistical, financial and political nightmare. The UK as a whole could possibly physically host it but could you imagine the backlash about the costs and the potential egg shells that any politician who signs off on it walks. That’s why Saudi Arabia are getting 2034 and why Australia aren’t interested. COYP Reply |
| 8. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sun 4th Jan 2026. 06:38 They have 3 countries hosting the next 2 world cups so Saudi get it as they will be "the only bid". Fifa don`t care about fans. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 9. Author: ianbd6 Date: Sun 4th Jan 2026. 10:58 The 2030 world cup is shared between Morocco, Spain and Portugal. With token games in south America. The host nations fair enough but south America absolute joke. If you are interested in the finances of FIFA there is a good book called . The fall of the house of FIFA. It will be a bit dated but still a good read. Reply |
| 10. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sun 4th Jan 2026. 13:43 There was a good watch a few years ago about FIFA and corruption as well. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
