Officially, Football Australia has withdrawn from the competition to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034.
Even though the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup was a record-breaking success, FIFA has decided to concentrate on other competitions.
“We have explored the opportunity to bid to host the FIFA World Cup and having taken all factors into consideration, we have reached the conclusion not to do so for the 2034 competition,” the Football Association stated in a statement.”
Instead, it will focus on a number of other significant international competitions.”We believe we are in a strong position to host the oldest women’s international competition in the world, the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026, and then welcome the greatest teams in world football for the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup,” stated the statement.
Socceroos engage in a fierce battle up close. “Achieving this, following the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 and with the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, would represent a truly golden decade for Australian football.”
Australia’s withdrawal from the competition suggests that Saudi Arabia would likely serve as the tournament’s host in 2034. “We wish FIFA and the eventual hosts of the FIFA World Cup 2034 the greatest success for the good of the game and for everyone who loves our sport,” the Football Association stated.
