It’s official, FIFA has confirmed that Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

A look into - Saudi’s big moment!

The 2034 World Cup will welcome 48 teams from around the world and will be hosted across five cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha, and NEOM.

These cities will be ready with state-of-the-art stadiums and facilities, all designed to give visitors a world-class experience. This is a huge step forward for Saudi Arabia as it aims to position itself as a global leader in sports and entertainment

Saudi’s boost into tourism

With Dubai's top-notch infrastructure and its position as a major travel hub, we're likely to see a surge of visitors heading to Saudi Arabia via Dubai for the FIFA 2034 World Cup.

Think bustling airports, packed fan zones, and maybe even some legendary footballers spotted around town.

Plus, with the excitement building across the region, who knows, maybe we'll even see some friendly rivalry between Emirati and Saudi fans! It's going to be an exciting time for football lovers in Dubai, that's for sure!

One of the biggest impacts of hosting the World Cup will be a major boost to tourism in Saudi Arabia. The country is already seeing impressive growth in its tourism industry, with over 100 million people visiting in 2023. The World Cup will attract even more visitors, not just for the games, but also to explore Saudi Arabia’s cultural hotspots, giga projects, and newly developed cities.

From the stunning beaches by the Red Sea to the desert getaways and the futuristic developments in NEOM, Saudi Arabia offers a unique mix of natural beauty and modern attractions. The tournament will give visitors the chance to experience this firsthand while enjoying the world-class facilities created specifically for the event, such as fan festivals, desert camps, and more.

With Dubai as a likely stopover point for many fans, the excitement and economic benefits are sure to spill over!

Additionally, the event’s global spotlight will inject the thriving economy of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and by 2034 the gaming hub in Ras Al Khaimah.

Now, isn’t that something you can look forward to?
