Saudi Arabia is a very wealthy country vast in abundances of Rich minerals resources so money isn't a problem for them. Signing Cristiano Ronaldo to play in their domestic leagues and also been a major sponsors of the Club world cup doesn't mean they will still be promoted if they failed to qualify to the next phase of the world cup. FIFA have setup rules in every football competitions and the world cup is not an exception. If Saudi Arabia failed to meetup with the rules of the game,they wouldn't be allowed to progress further.

You didn't had an issue when Qatar hosted the world cup, and thereby gained automatic entry to the tournament in 2022? The same is happening next year, when three countries (USA, Canada and Mexico) are granted automatic entry. So this is a norm for the FIFA World Cups. The fact that Saudi Arabia can spend massive amounts of money in sports, unlike the bankrupt European nations should not be used to blame them. Perhaps the European governments should focus on improving the infrastructure in their own nations rather than spending billions of Euros to import Syrians and Afghans to their country.

Qatar hosted the World Cup in 2022 and surprised the world by hosting the World Cup for the first time. They planned a lot around the World Cup and started building a lot long ago. Other countries have never spent so much money to host the World Cup as Qatar has. Qatar has built a city just for the World Cup and has built several modern stadiums with air conditioning so that the spectators can enjoy the game very comfortably. The 2026 World Cup will be held by three countries and I think that three countries will not be able to host it like Qatar did when they hosted the 2026 World Cup. However, those who are lucky enough to watch the 2026 World Cup will definitely see something wonderful and it may be that Saudi Arabia has broken all the records in history to host the World Cup.
