The only bidder, Saudi Arabia, was overwhelmingly supported by more than 200 FIFA member associations in a Zurich online meeting presided over by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
FIFA gave Saudi Arabia’s proposal the highest score ever for World Cup bids, an incredible 4.18 out of 5. In contrast to the higher risks associated with the 2026 and 2030 proposals, the study indicated that the Saudi plan had medium risk levels.
