No one else bid for the WC so it automatically went to Saudi Arabia. The BBC say that environmental groups have criticised the move, but it's a one-country World Cup!
People have a real hatred of Saudi, I think Saudi just wants to move into the 21st century and sees sports as their way in.

It automatically went to someone not in Europe and not in South America. Leaving only Australia, Japan and an Arab state who's not Qatar as the only real choices (China don't want to embarrass themselves as a host until they're sure they can at least make it out of the group stage). Japan went no and Australia put together a half hearted bit of interest but declined as well leaving the Saudis as the only option.

The Reddit take is it was manipulated by FIFA to guarantee Saudi was the only bidder.

The 3 random matches in South America for WC2030, which rule out WC in South America for 12 years, might have something to do with that.

lol the continent will need those 12 years to recover from the economic loss anyway. The next two multi-continent World Cups are going to be wank.

Nah, they just want to be known for something else than beheading and human rights violation.
Sports is a good way too improve your country image if you don't mind the cost.
