NorthernLights Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 That's Saudi Arabia 2034 confirmed (as if anyone expected anyone else to get it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 No surprises here really. Australia would have had to spend millions on upgrading stadiums, the AFC (President at least) had already indicated they were backing the Saudi bid, and then there's the millions and millions of other reasons that the Saudi bid would get votes (allegedly). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done the same with the women's competition, with the 5 tournament's after this year's being hosted by Morocco. I don't think they've said what time of year they're holding either the men's or the women's. Teenagers playing an international sporting event in summer in the desert seems questionable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Taking away the host location, I think it's the right idea to have this every year rather than every single year, since a lot of players would have been missing out on the chance to play in it purely based on being unlucky to be born in the odd year. A lot of the comments I've seen online seem to be folk getting really worked up about an event they probably didn't even know existed before. It hasn't been hosted in Europe in over 20 years anyway, and has only been here once in the last 30. In terms of the timing, this has usually taken place in autumn or winter in previous years, and that would make sense given that they'll need to host annual qualifying now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
