Saudi Arabia surprised the football community with its decision.
The Middle Eastern country decided to withdraw from the competition to host the 2030 World Cup.
The Arabs have already informed Greece and Egypt about their decision, with whom they were planning to submit a joint bid.
At the same time, this is good news for other contenders, among which a new favorite emerged. It is the trio of Spain-Portugal-Morocco.
Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile also want to organize the football fiesta together.
FIFA's decision will be announced in September 2024.
