“The tournament will be held by Saudi Arabia”, — write: sport.ua
It is reported that in the presentation of its proposal, Saudi Arabia confirmed its desire to host the tournament with the participation of 48 national teams.
However, the tournament can be held in winter. The reason for this is the main holiday for Muslims – Ramadan, which falls at the end of the year, and FIFA does not want to impose a date on it. It is not advisable to hold the tournament in the summer due to excessive heat. Therefore, it is expected that the WC-2034 will start in January.
We will remind that the World Cup-2022, which was held in Qatar, also took place in winter [листопад – грудень].
