The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president and FIFA Vice President Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa stated that Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2034 World Cup is a significant milestone in the history of Asian football and an important step towards hosting the global event. 

He added that Asia had placed its full trust in Saudi Arabia's bid due to the country's significant resources, future plans, and remarkable development, which align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. 

The official submission of the bid reflects the world's growing confidence in Saudi Arabia's ability to organise an unforgettable World Cup.

“Today, as we witness the official submission of the bid to host the World Cup, Asia’s confidence in Saudi Arabia's ability to organise one of the most remarkable editions of the World Cup is growing,” he noted.

He averred: “We are working as a unified system to support this and ensure the capability and effectiveness of the proposed plans and arrangements to deliver an unforgettable global football event.

“The world bid farewell to the exceptional 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Today, we are witnessing Saudi Arabia's submission of the 2034 World Cup bid, which will become an unforgettable reality.”

Moreover, he said: “We are very close to the movement and development of Saudi football, supported by Minister of Sports Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal and led by president of Saudi Arabian Football Federation Yasser Al-Misehal.

“So, let us send a message of reassurance to all football stakeholders worldwide that Saudi Arabia will present a World Cup of exceptional quality and distinction that will remain in everyone's memory,” he stressed.
