At the Saudi Media Forum: The 2034 World Cup Bid – A Vision Unveiled to the World for the First Time

In a historic moment reflecting Saudi Arabia's transformation in sports, media, and global engagement, the public will, for the first time, have the opportunity to view the Kingdom’s official bid document for hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup. This exclusive unveiling will take place at the fourth edition of the Saudi Media Forum, a platform that bridges media influence with shaping Saudi Arabia’s global image. The forum has dedicated a special showcase for the bid, as part of the "Spotlight Initiative", which highlights groundbreaking national projects. This bid, described as the largest and most highly rated in World Cup history, is not merely a technical document outlining the tournament’s organization, but rather a national project that embodies Saudi Arabia’s visionary strategy to position itself as a global hub for sports and media. Selecting the Saudi Media Forum as the first venue to present the bid publicly underscores the deep connection between media and sports. Just as football has become a powerful cultural force, media serves as the vehicle that shapes and amplifies its impact worldwide. With leading media figures, policymakers, and international experts in attendance, the forum is the ideal stage to unveil the details of Saudi Arabia’s exceptional vision for the 2034 World Cup, redefining not just tournament hosting, but the very experience of the World Cup through an innovative Saudi perspective. Attendees will not just see documents and logistical plans, but rather a comprehensive national narrative showcasing Saudi Arabia’s transformative journey. This bid surpasses traditional FIFA standards, sending a clear message: Saudi Arabia is not merely applying to host the World Cup—it is setting a new global benchmark for football’s future. By making the bid document publicly accessible for the first time, Saudi Arabia reinforces that the 2034 World Cup is not just a government initiative, but a nationwide vision shared by its people. The event will serve as a powerful reminder of the Kingdom’s rapid rise as a key player on the global sports and media stage. At the heart of this dynamic shift, the Saudi Media Forum emerges as a testament to Saudi Arabia’s growing role—not just as a host of major global events, but as a driving force shaping their future.
