FIFA's decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia puts many lives at risk and "marks a moment of great danger", Amnesty International and 20 other organisations warned on Wednesday. Saudi Arabia, which was the sole candidate, was rubber-stamped as the 2034 hosts at a virtual FIFA Congress, bringing the World Cup back to the Gulf region just 12 years after Qatar hosted in 2022. Awarding the tournament to Saudi Arabia "despite the well-known and severe risks to residents, migrant workers and visiting fans alike, marks a moment of great danger," Amnesty and organisations including Human Rights Watch, the Gulf Centre for Human Rights and the Football Supporters Europe group said in a statement.
England’s Football Association said it had received assurances from Saudi Arabia that LGBTQ fans would be “safe and welcome” at the 2034 World Cup, explaining its support for the successful bid from the Gulf state.
