Human rights concerns: US senators urge FIFA nations not to award 2034 World Cup to Saudi
November 26 – Two United States senators have urged FIFA not to pick Saudi Arabia as the 2034 World Cup host because of the country’s human rights record.
Democrats Ron Wyden of Oregon and Dick Durbin of Illinois have written to FIFA president Gianni Infantino imploring him to “seek out a host country with a record of upholding human rights.”
Saudi Arabia has been the only candidate for 2034 since FIFA controversially opened a fast-track nomination process in October last year.
