reporter Han Bing reported World Cup was held in Ancient Greek , Ancient Egypt and Arabic civilizations, and may no longer be a fantasy. According to the TO10 news of the Greek website: Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis and Egyptian President Sisi both gave official attitudes. Saudi , Greece and Egypt agreed to jointly bid for the 2030 World Cup , and jointly bid across three continents. This is the first time in history. Saudi Crown Prince bin Salman has handed over the official documents of the joint bid to a consulting company in the United States and officially launched the bid. Although the joint bid for "cross the three continents" was well known a month ago, the world football world still amazed the determination of the Saudi royal family.
The outside world believes that Spain & Portugal, which represents Europe, has a greater chance of winning. After all, compared with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece, they have obvious advantages in hardware facilities, football atmosphere and competition organization capabilities. In addition, they can also divert the votes of the "Southern Cone Combination" Argentina + Uruguay + Paraguay + Chile combination in Latin America.
However, not long ago, Ukraine joined the Iberian combination, and the uncertainty factors increased greatly. Not only is Ukraine's geographical location too far from the first two, but its infrastructure and economic strength are even more incomparable, but it has dragged it down.
Saudi Arabia invested heavily in "2030 Vision ", which has allowed the country to receive the right to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games and the 2034 Asian Games. Saudi Arabia will comprehensively modernize the three major cities of the capital Riyadh , Jeddah , and Mecca , and will also build a new modern metropolis with a population of one million in Naim, which is adjacent to the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt in the northwest. Saudi Arabia's investment and publicity template in the football field is Qatar . Saudi Arabia's population is 14 times that of Qatar. Its economic strength dominates the entire Middle East . Naturally, its ambition will not be limited to Asia.
Qatar can host the World Cup, Saudi Arabia thinks it can, and, they want to compete with Qataris . Saudi Arabia hopes to become a new center for world sports, and the capital invested has almost increased by one order of magnitude. Saudi Arabia has hosted the heavyweight champion championship, Formula 1 racing and the golf celebrity competition with super high prizes, and won the hosting rights of the Spanish Super Cup for 8 seasons, and acquired the Premier League powerhouse Newcastle United. The goal of the future is to host the World Cup and compete with Qatar.
Previously, the Saudi Football Association had contacted Egypt and Italian Football Association respectively, trying to apply across continents. However, UEFA previously persuaded the five major domestic football leagues of the United Kingdom + Ireland to withdraw from the joint bid, and used the Spanish + Portugal combination as the only representative to compete for bid, and Italy backed off; and the Balkans bidding consortium formed by Greece, together with Romania , Bulgaria , and Serbia , and Serbia , and thus disintegrated, but they were unwilling to accept it, so joining Saudi Arabia's "cross-three continents" combination became their only choice.
48 teams participated in the World Cup in 2030, and at least 16 stadiums are needed. Saudi Arabia will host 8 stadiums, most of which are in Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca and the newly built modern metropolis, Naim; the home courts of the four major giants, Athens Olympic Stadium, which hosted the opening ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics, will also be listed; two to three stadiums of the four giants, Panasinakos, Olympiacos, Athens AEK, and Thessaloniki PAOK; the Egyptian capital Cairo and Alexandria will also host the competition. The Saudi government promises to bear all the costs of building and expanding the stadium, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Naim, and the comprehensive modernization of urban infrastructure that helps Egypt build two new metropolises with millions of people, with a total investment of more than one trillion US dollars.
html participated in the Winter World Cup twice within 38 years, which is of course unacceptable for the European and American football world that controls modern football.Even though the "cross-three continents" bidding group has put forward the propaganda slogan of "the gathering of three major civilizations", the European and South American Football Federations, which have almost openly broken with FIFA , do not want the chaos caused by the Qatar World Cup to repeat.
However, the capital that the Saudi royal family can smash into Europe far exceeds Qatar, and FIFA President Infantino has a good personal relationship with Saudi Crown Prince bin Salman, who is very likely to strongly support the bid for "cross-three continents" under the background of capital.
Since the football world can accept the first winter World Cup, why can't there be a second time under the promotion of huge capital? After all, the attitude of European football towards Qatar or Saudi Arabia depends largely on how much benefit can be obtained.
As long as it is a problem of money, it is not a problem.
