"Don't think tournament, think football festival."

Saudi Arabia has officially been confirmed as the host of the 2034 World Cup, with it being a tournament that is 'promised to be the best World Cup in history.'

A young spokesperson delivered a presentation ahead of the confirmation:

"We will make you all proud. Saudi Arabia has become home to some of the greatest sporting events and we are growing football at a rapid pace.

"We want to host the first 48-team World Cup in a single nation."

Then speaking on the festival atmosphere expected, the presenter stated:

"If you've heard about us Saudis, you would know that we love to host. Generosity is a language every fan can expect when visiting our beautiful country.

"Young Saudis are not only part of the change but we are part of driving it. I love languages too. Especially the language of football. It's a language I love because everyone in the world speaks football. It's what makes our game truly global," they added.
