“Our bid is inspired by Saudi Arabia’s transformation journey, the passion of our fans, and a commitment to deliver an amazing tournament.”

“Economic components and a great cultural heritage.”
But football supporters are not happy with the possibility of another World Cup being staged in the Middle East.
Qatar were controversially handed the 2022 tournament.
