On November 16, according to British newspaper The Daily Mail reporter Mike Keegan, Saudi Arabia is set to secure the hosting rights for the 2034 FIFA World Cup. The official announcement by FIFA is scheduled for December 11. However, given that there are no other bidding countries, Saudi Arabia will become the second country in the Middle East to host the World Cup.
The article also reveals that Saudi Arabia has already begun designing and constructing a new stadium. This stadium will not only host World Cup matches but will also feature gaming and esports zones, as well as a theme park. Moreover, the stadium will be built on a specific terrain.
Famous designer Populous provided a more convincing explanation, stating that the exterior of the stadium will consist of a series of modular cubes, which will serve as an extension of the Tuwaiq Escarpment, forming a gateway that peers into the city’s future.
