Saudi Arabia’s 2034 bid faced a lot of cricitism for the country’s human rights record and desert climate, similar to the concerns raised regarding the Qatar World Cup. The FIFA world cup is typically held in June or July , however the heat condition in Saudi Arabia may force organisers to schedule the tournament in winter, like Qatar’s 2022 event. The 2034 World Cup, if moved to January, might potentially clash with the Winter Olympics.
