Ambassador of Saudi football and sponsor of the bid to host the 2034 World Cup. Neymar Jr. through Al Hilal’s social media, explained why FIFA should award the World Cup to Saudi Arabia: “People from all over the world will have the opportunity to learn more about Saudi culture, the country, so it will be a great experience to be here with everyone,” said the Brazilian, dressed for the occasion in traditional clothing.
For now, Saudi Arabia is the only country to have put forward its candidacy to organize the competition. FIFA will have to designate the host country of the 2034 World Cup at the end of the year, but the assignment seems to be a foregone conclusion: “I am very happy for the country, I think it deserves this recognition, this opportunity to host a World Cup,” added Neymar, who has not played for almost a year.
