FIFA has named Saudi Arabia as the 2034 World Cup host, following approval of the 2030 tournament co-hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. The decision has drawn significant backlash from human rights organizations over the kingdom's labor practices and social issues, raising questions about workers' rights and potential segregation at venues. Plans call for extensive infrastructure across five cities, with the need for clear risk assessments for labor rights. FIFA's evaluation report rated Saudi Arabia's human rights concerns as 'medium,' igniting fears of sportswashing and lack of accountability.
