FIFA unveiled details of Saudi Arabias ambitious bid to host the largest-ever edition of the FIFA World Cup

The ambitious bid by Saudi Arabia to host the biggest FIFA World Cup ever held in a single nation has been made public by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Following a FIFA ceremony in Paris, France, Saudi Arabia officially submitted its bid book for the FIFA World Cup 2034.

Mohammed bin Salman, the prime minister and crown prince, fully supports the official bid slogan, "Growing. Together." The massive plans and infrastructure projects of Saudi Arabia, which mirror the Kingdom's historic development, are outlined in the bid book. It also describes the Kingdom's approach to organizing the FIFA World Cup, one of the biggest and most important athletic events in the world.

The FIFA World Cup 2034 is proposed to be held in five cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha, and NEOM, one of the Kingdom's most important future city projects, according to the bid book. 15 cutting-edge stadiums, including 11 brand-new, planned stadiums, will be present in the five host cities. Eight venues will be located in Riyadh, the most recent of which being King Salman Stadium, which can hold approximately 92,000 spectators and will host the first and last games.

In addition, the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium in Riyadh will have an inventive, modern design, triple-tiered stands, and a breathtaking perspective of one of the Tuwaiq cliffs. In Riyadh, the renovated King Fahad Sports City Stadium can hold more than 70,000 people.

The King Abdullah Sports City Stadium on the coast will draw its architectural inspiration from the Red Sea's coral reefs, while Jeddah's new Central Development Stadium will be modeled after the city's historical architecture. The Aramco Stadium in Al Khobar will have a sea-inspired design and be located on the Arabian Gulf shore. King Khalid University Stadium in Abha will temporarily expand to hold more than 45,000 spectators throughout the competition. Running solely on renewable energy, NEOM Stadium, located within THE LINE project, will offer a unique experience.

Ten more training camp locations are part of the hosting strategy, which takes advantage of the Kingdom's varied topography. Saudi Arabia will meet FIFA regulations with more than 230,000 rooms spread throughout the five host cities. There are 132 training locations total, spread over 15 cities, including 72 stadiums designated as Base Camp Training Sites. 

FIFA will choose one location for the FIFA Fan Festival in each of the ten host cities included in the bid book. King Abdullah Park in Al Khobar, Jeddah Waterfront, Al Bihar Square in Abha, THE LINE marina in NEOM, and King Salman Park in Riyadh are among the locations.

At the FIFA ceremony in Paris on Monday, an official SAFF delegation headed by Prince Abdulaziz officially presented the bid book, demonstrating Saudi Arabia's strong determination to advance football and welcoming sports enthusiasts from all over the world to take part in this historic occasion.
