Saudi Arabia is expected to abandon its bid to host the 2030 World Cup.온라인카지노Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are now favored to co-host.

“Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has been in contact with Greece and Egypt in recent days. This is to ensure that they are not the final candidates for the 2023 World Cup.”

Saudi Arabia has been pushing to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Greece and Egypt. There have also been claims that the kingdom has signed Cristiano Ronaldo as a World Cup ambassador, bringing him to the Saudi league. In recent years, Saudi capital has also increased its presence in soccer with the purchase of English Premier League (EPL) club Newcastle United.

But the 2030 World Cup bid was seen as virtually impossible. “The Saudis looked at the possibilities in many ways and concluded that they could not beat Spain, Portugal, and Morocco co-hosting,” the outlet added.

“Spain, Portugal, and Morocco have been quietly and seriously making things happen for years, showing strength in all areas. The careful diplomatic strategy of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has once again paid off, increasing their chances of winning the bid.”

The competition is there. A South American candidate consisting of Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Paraguay could make a bid for the World Cup. The host of the 2030 World Cup will be decided in September 2024.
