Maybe im getting you wrong, but the Arabia Saudi world cup is on 2034 so what are you talking about? Maybe im not understanding it correctly.
The Saudi Arabia team was build much before they start this new super growth in their league, and yes for sure they have some favours from the FIFA, they give FIFA ton of money, and that is how the world works sadly.
I am not talking about Saudi Arabia as FIFA World Cup 2034 house but asking why appointing as host for third round qualifying, its not fair with AFC and FIFA regulation when several regulation change for appointing both countries between Qatar and Saudi Arabia become the host. Surely Saudi Arabia spent out much money support all FIFA agenda and easily for them getting special place by appointing as host, another funny how the host national team have more than si days recovering than two national Iraq and Indonesia just get two days before playing second match qualifying.
I hope Indonesia and Iraq can defeat Saudi Arabia to make them eliminate for FIFA World Cup 2026 looking for not any drama any more later if both team between Qatar and Saudi Arabi are qualifying.
