• Key questions behind Fifa's Saudi World Cup decision
• How 2030 World Cup will work?
• What will a Saudi World Cup look like?

Swiss FA confirmed yesterday they would approve the Saudi bid for the 2034 World Cup, but demanded human rights must be monitored by both Fifa and the International labour organisation.

Dominique Blanc, ASF President: "We have formulated these concrete points in the field of workers' rights and human rights in a letter to FIFA and have also formulated demands and made proposals.

"Saudi Arabia's bid dossier contains a very broad strategy for protecting workers and human rights, which prompted us to approve the bid.

"However, there are some inaccuracies on certain points.

"Specifically, we are calling on Fifa and the organisers to set up independent monitoring and appeal bodies, in addition to the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

"We have formulated these concrete points in the field of workers' rights and human rights in a letter to Fifa, and have also formulated demands and made proposals."

Danish football Federation (DUB) decided, based on a thorough process, to support the overall package of the two World Cup bids with expectations that Fifa will follow up on, among other things, the requirements for human rights before and during the final rounds.

Jesper Moller, DBU Chairman: "We would have liked to see more bids for both the 2030 and 2034 World Cups, and we are critical of the overall process.

"This is something we want to raise with Fifa to ensure greater diversity and competition in future bidding processes.

"At the same time, we recognize that the size of the tournament and the infrastructure requirements naturally limit the number of countries that can realistically bid to host.

"This emphasizes the need for open and transparent processes that ensure that all potential candidates have the opportunity to participate."

"In DBU and in Danish football, we stand for Danish values ​​such as community and respect and our Danish approach to human rights, labour rights and other rights.

"We do this in everyday life and we do this when we are at meetings and tournaments in other parts of the world.

"However, we must recognize that other countries have different values ​​and different attitudes to rights, this also applies to the countries that have bid to host the World Cup.

"We are one of 211 associations and cannot decide the location of the final rounds alone."

FIFA

Fifa president Gianni Infantino: "We look forward to positive human rights impacts, which are responsibilities of hosting a World Cup.

"The unique spotlight of a World Cup helps to shine light for improvements."

FIFA

Fifa president Gianni Infantino: "I fully trust our hosts to deliver a Fifa World Cup that meets the world's expectations. That is why we went through this billing procedure and offered transparency.

"The World Cup is unique and a unique catalyst for positive social change and unity."

This is the statement the Football Association for England released after the 2030 and 2034 men's World Cup hosts were confirmed:

"After a careful review of both proposals, we supported the two World Cup bids – from Spain/Portugal/Morocco in 2030, and Saudi Arabia in 2034. Both bids are technically strong and meet the Fifa criteria to host the Men’s World Cup.

"Our focus is on ensuring that all our fans can attend and enjoy tournaments.

"The FA board met the Saudi Arabian Football Federation last month to discuss their bid in more detail. We asked them to commit to ensuring all fans would be safe and welcome in Saudi Arabia in 2034 – including LGBTQ+ fans. They assured us that they are fully committed to providing a safe and welcome environment for all fans.

"Football is a global game, and is for everyone. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion means being respectful of all, including all religions and cultures. We also believe that hosting World Cups can be a catalyst for positive change, which is best delivered by working collaboratively in partnership with host nations.

"We will work with Fifa and Uefa to ensure that commitments to respect all human rights are delivered."

"Football does really have the power to unite the world," is the words from Fifa president Gianni Infantino, who then tells everyone to watch a video on uniting the world through football.

It includes a message from Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski and some other big names such as Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker are included.

Following the announcement, human rights organisation Amnesty International released a statement criticising Fifa's decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia as a "moment of great danger".

Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International’s head of labour rights and sport, said: "Fifa's reckless decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia without ensuring adequate human rights protections are in place will put many lives at risk."

Amnesty are one of the leading dissenting voices against a Saudi World Cup.

This hasn't been confirmed yet, though the official bid evaluation report, , externalcontained 20 stadiums, split between the three co-hosts.

Spain looks set to stage the most matches, having put forward 11 stadiums.

That includes Barcelona's Nou Camp - the largest football stadium in Europe - as well as Real Madrid's Bernabeu.

The Nou Camp is under renovation which should take its capacity to 105,000.

Portugal is set to use three stadiums - Estadio Jose Alvalade, Estadio da Luz and Estadio do Dragao - the homes of Sporting CP, Benfica and Porto respectively.

Morocco has put forward six stadiums.

The President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) announced last year that five existing stadiums would be used,, external as well as a new stadium in the city of Casablanca.

This will be the first time World Cup matches are held in North Africa.

The stadiums proposed to host the final are the Bernabeu, Nou Camp and Morocco's Grand Stade Hassan II, which is being built.

Given Morocco, Spain, and Portugal are set to host the men's 2030 World Cup, with Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay also included, unsurprisingly no one is talking in English, with no subtitles.

However, plenty of big smiles - they all look very happy.

The tournament hosts secure automatic qualification, which means Morocco, Portugal and Spain - plus Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay - are guaranteed places.

The other places will be determined by qualifying competitions in each of the continental confederation.

Qualification places are divided between the confederations.

These quotas are yet to be confirmed for 2030, but here's how the places were allocated for the 2026 World Cup, which is also a 48-team tournament:

• Asian Football Confederation - eight places

• Confederation of African Football - nine places

• Concacaf (North, Central America and Caribbean) - six places

• Conmebol - six places

• Oceania Football Confederation - one place

• Uefa (Europe) - 16 places

The final two spots will be decided through a play-off tournament featuring six teams.

@KIZZAHILLARY1 on X: Congrats to Saudi Arabia

@VASTO_e on X: Interesting choices of hosts. The 2030 tournament will certainly be unique with three nations involved. The 2034 decision raises many questions, of course.

The opening three matches of the tournament will take place in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.

That is because Fifa is commemorating 100 years since the inaugural World Cup.

That competition was staged in Uruguay and won by the hosts, with Argentina the beaten finalists. Paraguay, meanwhile, is where the South American football confederation - Conmebol - is based.

Conmebol is the oldest continental football federation in the world, and the only one in existence at the 1930 World Cup.

Finally we have the confirmation everyone was expecting.

Stay with us as it's now time for some reaction from the winning bidders. More clapping now...
