Saudi Arabia open to 64-team Fifa World Cup in 2034

Saudi Arabia would be ready and willing to host a 64-team World Cup in 2034 if Fifa accepts a controversial proposal to expand the tournament from 48, according to the kingdom's sports minister. South America's CONMEBOL has officially suggested staging the centenary 2030 World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco with 64 teams but the idea has been opposed by some other continental confederations. Next year's tournament hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico will have 48 countries participating, up from 32 in 2022. Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal told a select group of reporters at the Saudi Arabian Formula One Grand Prix in Jeddah that his country would have no objection to an increase in the numbers for 2034. "We're ready, or we will be ready, inshallah (God willing). If that's a decision that Fifa takes and thinks that that's a good decision for everyone, then we're more than happy to deliver on it," he said. He pointed to the infrastructure already in place for Islamic pilgrims, with four million people attending Mecca for Umrah during Ramadan this year and five million expected for the Hajj. The global soccer governing body officially announced Saudi Arabia as hosts of the 2034 men's World Cup in December, a bid that was uncontested. The Kingdom has invested heavily in sport over the last few years. The bid book pledged 15 stadiums, new or refurbished, by 2032. Alcohol, prohibited for observant Muslims, is banned in Saudi Arabia and Al-Faisal confirmed the World Cup would be dry. "The law now here in Saudi is that there's no alcohol. Will that change in the future? We don't know. But I don't see it really affecting our sporting events at all," he said. "We've had more than 100 international events so far. We've had people come from all over the world to attend these sporting events. And everyone's happy with the hospitality, the setup, the experience that they get. "I don't see it as an issue, to be honest. So I hope it's not going to be an issue".
