sne Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I'll be delighted if Morocco gets to host it ( and Spain & Portugal is fine too). Games in Morocco will be epic. No idea about the rest of the stuff, feels like the typical FIFA malarkey you get these days. And it also pretty much confirms that Saudi will get the 2034 WC.

AndyM3000 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Absolutely ridiculous and it's time to put FIFA in the bin, we need a new power to challenge them. Having teams/fans flying all the way round the world during a tournament when we are constantly told we need to try and cut this stuff out to protect the planet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Yep, paves the way for them to justify giving it to saudi in 2034. Farcical, like everything else they touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrBlack Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2023 Only reason they're doing this is to grant the Saudi bid and claim its the only offering from a continent due to host. They're a **** disgrace and it boils my piss. They're got rid of the old corrupt regime and replaced it with something worse. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Just now, Zatman said: Conmebol was founded in Paraguay is the reason they are giving Argentina because they're champions I guess. Uruguay because they hosted the first one. So they're claiming that this covers South America, Europe and Africa in terms of continents that have hosted that round. They're so corrupt. Before you even begin discussing the joke of the environmental impact this will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 "Fifa says only bids from the Asia and Oceania regions will be accepted for the 2034 tournament".

sne Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 It's just words. They could always do a Qatar 180 and change it a couple days before the tournament starts. Quote Saudi Arabia ready to suspend its alcohol ban to boost its bid to host 2034 World Cup The Arab nation became the controversial favourite to host 2034 after Fifa handed the 2030 tournament to Spain, Portugal, Morocco — plus opening games in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. Critics accused football chiefs of grabbing “dirty money” from a state guilty of appalling human right abuses and the gruesome murder of a dissident journalist. The Muslim country outlaws alcohol sale and consumption — and foreigners caught drinking face public flogging, huge fines, lengthy imprisonment and deportation. But a Saudi source told The Sun: “Football fans will be allowed to drink if Saudi Arabia stages the World Cup. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24298013/saudi-arabia-suspend-alcohol-ban-2034-world-cup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
