Football Australia has announced that it will not be bidding to host the 2034 World Cup, leaving Saudi Arabia as the sole candidate. Instead, Australia will focus on hosting the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. Saudi Arabia has gained support from Asian Football Confederation members for its bid. However, the country is likely to face controversy due to its human rights record, with organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International calling for human rights commitments from potential hosts.
