Australia has decided to withdraw from the running to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, leaving Saudi Arabia as the exclusive candidate for this prestigious international football tournament. Football Australia made the announcement, stating that after careful consideration of all factors, they have opted not to bid for the 2034 competition. Instead, they intend to focus on hosting the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026, considered the world’s oldest women’s international competition, and prepare to welcome the world’s greatest football teams for the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. This decision has significant implications for the future of the tournament’s location.
