The Football Association (FA) is considering whether to officially endorse Saudi Arabia’s bid for the 2034 men’s World Cup during the upcoming virtual Fifa Congress. Discussions within the FA board are ongoing, and there’s speculation about a new ratification process involving acclamation. Amid concerns over Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, FA officials are weighing the implications of either endorsing or rejecting the bid. Meanwhile, Germany’s national football association has publicly backed both Saudi Arabia’s 2034 bid and a joint bid for the 2030 World Cup.
