That is despite the reality that Saudi Arabia 2034 will involve most of the same discussions as Qatar, but on a completely different scale. Saudi Arabia meanwhile has a far more criticised human rights record than its smaller neighbour with far graver issues like capital punishment now coming to the fore. From all this, a path has been smoothed for Saudi Arabia to get what it really wants, which is the World Cup. The point to all of this is not to already have the discussion surrounding Saudi Arabia or other World Cups. There should be wider-reaching outcomes than the mess of 2030, or Saudi Arabia getting 2034.
