The FIFA World Cup is returning to the Middle East.

Axar.az reports that Saudi Arabia was officially named the host for the 2034 tournament on Wednesday, running unopposed in its bid after being named the sole candidate in October 2023. It will join Qatar, the 2022 host, as the second Middle Eastern country to host a men's World Cup.

More than 200 FIFA member federations took part in an online meeting on Wednesday hosted by FIFA president Gianni Infantino in Zurich, Switzerland, to confirm the 2030 and 2034 World Cup hosts.

Hosting the 2034 World Cup is the latest and biggest step in Saudi Arabia's mission to grow in sports, particularly soccer.
