YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup, despite a slew of human rights concerns. Iain Dale and his panel discuss whether the UK should boycott the football competition, or if politics should be kept out of sport altogether.

Human rights campaigners have warned many people will die in preparing Saudi Arabia to host, but the Saudi bid - along with a joint Morocco, Portugal and Spain bid for 2030 - received virtually unanimous global support from national associations, including the English FA.

The agreement for South America to host the opening games in 2030 - reached in October last year - paved the way for Saudi Arabia to be sole hosts in 2034.

Saudi Arabia will also host football's 2027 Asian Cup, the 2029 Asian Winter Games and the 2034 Asian Games.
