Now FIFA has their own rules. They care more about money and not about the rules. There is a documenty about FIFA that there is so much money involved in all that
If FIFA is more concerned with money, why didn't FIFA choose Saudi Arabia as the host of the World Cup because Saudi Arabia itself has sufficient accommodation and finances to be able to make the World Cup the best after Qatar.
You are giving unreasonable assumptions buddy.
I know FIFA has its own rules and nobody can change them but this is all to increase the love and prominence of the sport of football in every country so it can't be said just for money.


FIFA should be worried about the money because this is one important factor for any country and obviously a country with a good financial situation can be a better host regarding Saudi Arabia just the rules they made for the tourist especially the woman under 25y old:
They have no freedom...




Alcohol rules:

How a country like this can host the world cup? there will be an even worst situation than what we saw in Qatar for the people who visit this country.

Thanks for sharing this post mate as well as the link pertaining what's the do's and don'ts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I already heard some of the prohibitions made by their government and that they are very strict especially when it comes to the use of alchohol and drugs as that contradicts the beliefs and traditions of Saudi Araba as they are a Muslim country in the first place. Didn't shocked me though when I read the link you've shared but it just confirmed what I've heard that it is actually banned.

Well, what can I say, but good luck to those participants and fans who will watch the 2030 World Cup if KSA-Greece-Egypt will win the bid. Hopefully it's their competitor who will win the bid namely Portugal-Spain-Morroco as these country is far more free and lively from the first option and their national team is quite competitive as well, so they literally deserve to host the 2030 event.
