That is one of the few reasons why the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia didn't win the bid and was not chosen by the FIFA congress to host the next world cup after 2026, there was some saying that Saudi Arabia will join forces with Egypt and Greece to host the 2030 WC but that wasn't pushed through because of what happened in the recent World Cup 2023 where people weren't that much happy because they are not that free to do what they wanted because there are rules that needed to be observed which is common in a Muslim country. But Saudi Arabia wasn't really disappointed because the FIFA gave them the right to host the 2027 Asian Cup.
And this is something that Qatar never even considered, one of the things that they used to win the right to host the torunament was that the middle east was yet to host the World Cup, and FIFA in their attempt to bring the World Cup to every region of the world wanted to give Qatar a chance, but now that we have seen the treatment they gave to the tourists that visited their country for this event then FIFA is going to be way more wary about organizing such a big event there, when there were so many restrictions during the Qatar World Cup.
