'It's a dream' - Saudi Arabia set to host 2034 World Cup
Saudi Arabia is set to host the men's 2034 World Cup after Australia decided against bidding to stage the tournament.
Football Australia confirmed its decision only hours before Fifa's deadline for declarations of interest with Saudi Arabia the only nation to bid.
Mohamed Qoutb is an expert in football in Saudi Arabia and tells Sport Today鈥檚 John Bennett how hosting the tournament will be a 鈥渕ajor step in a transition in society from an ultra-conservative society to a more open to the world country鈥�.
