FIFA World Cup Controversy Erupts as Saudi Arabia Named 2034 World Cup Host, Norway Objects

The announcement of Saudi Arabia as the host nation for the 2034 FIFA World Cup has sparked a global controversy.

Norway has voiced strong objections, citing human rights concerns and the fairness of the bidding process.

Critics have accused FIFA of prioritizing financial interests over ethical considerations, while supporters argue the move will promote football development in the Middle East.
