NEOM’s Post

True greatness is not just in reaching the goal, but in redefining what’s possible.

Saudi Arabia has emerged as the frontrunner to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, securing a higher technical score than the joint bid from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. FIFA’s bid evaluation report awarded Saudi Arabia an average score of 4.2 out of 5 despite the country not yet completing several proposed stadiums for the event. Key to Saudi Arabia’s bid is the ambitious construction of the 92,760-seat King Salman International Stadium in Riyadh and seven additional stadiums, all slated for completion by 2032. Three of these are expected to be finished ahead of schedule for the 2027 Asian Cup. The evaluation results have surprised many in the footballing world, as the US, Canada, and Mexico were widely considered favorites due to their advanced infrastructure and established history with major tournaments.

Disappointing Day for Football 🚨 Today, we witnessed an appalling moment in the FIFA World Cup qualifier match between India and Qatar. Qatar Football Association illegal goal against India was a disgrace to fair play and sportsmanship. The lack of VAR for World Cup qualifiers is inexcusable, and the officials' failure to make accurate decisions on the field today was truly disheartening. FIFA 's refusal to implement VAR in such crucial matches is a blatant oversight that undermines the integrity of the game. How can we expect fair competition when the technology that ensures correct decisions is absent? This incident not only reflects poorly on Qatar Football but also raises serious questions about FIFA's commitment to fairness and accuracy in the sport. To see the beautiful game tarnished by such actions is a sad day for football fans worldwide. We demand better from both the players and the governing bodies to maintain the sanctity of the sport we love. #FIFA #Football #WorldCupQualifiers #FairPlay #IntegrityInSport #FootballIndia #QatarFootball #Disappointment #VAR #Sportsmanship #FairCompetition
