Saudi Arabia Gears Up for 2034 World Cup

Saudi Arabia has declared it is fully prepared to host the 64 teams that will compete at the 2034 FIFA World Cup, underscoring its readiness for the logistical and security challenges of the tournament.

At the same time, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) is reshaping its sports portfolio, dropping support for LIV golf and canceling a luxury ski complex for the 2034 Winter Asian Games. The PIF now emphasizes sustainability, control and infrastructure as growth drivers, and the country’s football scene reflects this shift, with Al‑Kholood club in the top division owned by U.S. investor Ben Harburg. h-doctor.club
