I exactly think the same way about allowing these countries to host great tournaments, that's simple they don't have enough facilities and that's not a wise move to let a country without enough facilities host the world cup because there will be consequences even after hosting the world cup, many people are unhappy about the time they spent in Qatar.

That never really mattered to them at all. Qatar is seen "fine" by the west because they can get love from them, Qatar may act as if they do like western people or at least the ones at the top could, but in theory there is really nothing that different fundamentally between Qatar and North Korea, sure the media will make you believe there is, but this is the same nation that thousands of people died to build these stadiums and other stuff so they can host World Cup.

The only thing Fifa cares about is money, if you pay them the bribe you should, then you are going to have the world cup. I am sure North Korea could pay a lot and still won't have it, but they do not really care about anything else, they just care about the money. Saudi Arabia is not democracy for example, they have nepotism and dictatorship, so one family rules it with iron fist, no elections, and if they pay the bribe, they can host it too.

Now Imagine some people think Saudi Arabia can be a good host for the next world cup after 2026, there we are going to see the same story we saw in Qatar and even worst than Qatar because they have more complicated rules.
That's why I think choosing America as the world cup host was a good move because there they have more freedom and people who visit this country will not have the same problems they had in Qatar.

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.

Hosting the Asian Cup is another story and it's not the same as the world cup, we know Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country and if they host the world cup there will be even harder rules than Qatar there, that's why I think letting this country host the world cup is not what FIFA wants, while since they spent a lot of money to reach everything they want I won't be surprised if I see them host the world cup just because they have enough money for it.

There might be some reasons behind that though because why would FIFA or should I say the FIFA congress give the right to Saudi Arabia to host the Asian Cup if it's not for the greater good. Right? We might not know it but we know that it's kind of connected about money. Moreover, FIFA doesn't have the sole right to choose whoever will host the next World Cup because they've got a process in-order to rule out any bias, a vote will be casted inside the FIFA congress before they can start and select who will be next host.
