This December FIFA gave the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia. I made this comic during the Qatar World Cup 2022. Nothing has changed.

If people truly believe that football is the people's game then they need to stage an international coup against #FIFA. They are not a country, empire or state so they could be boycotted, overturned or simply hijacked. Otherwise, we will continue to see the game being used as a tool to make horrendous profit at the expense of human rights. http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2024/1212/1486049-sadlier-fifa-only-concerned-with-bottom-line/

So, after the 1,000s of migrant workers who died to enable the World Cup in Qatar, FIFA is going to do it all again, this time in Saudi Arabia. I wonder what inducements FIFA executives accepted to agree this and whether they have experienced any pangs of conscience at the inevitable deaths. #WorldCup2034

Fifa World Cup 2034: Saudi Arabia’s plans for 11 new futuristic stadiums — The Times and The Sunday Times

Fifa has awarded Saudi Arabia the 2034 World Cup by a round of applause instead of a vote and immediately sparked a backlash over human rights and the timing of another winter tournament. Senior figures in European football fear that issues around the calendar mean it will have to be played in January 2035 rather than 2034, and that the European leagues could threaten new legal action against Fifa for “abuse of power” if their fixtures are thrown into chaos. Supporters’ groups have raised

‘No one’s perfect.’ says Saudi’s PR bloke on the ground. Hmmm I wonder what Jamal Khashoggi would have had to say about that? If only he hadn’t walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2nd October 2018.
Shame on FIFA.
