The FA has backed Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2034 World Cup, despite controversy surrounding the country's human rights record. The decision was made after Saudi Arabia was the only official bidder for the tournament. The FA's support is seen as hypocritical by some, but others argue that it would be inconsistent to oppose the bid while still intending to compete in the tournament. The German FA has also announced its support for Saudi Arabia, but there has been opposition from the Norwegian FA and UEFA's former general secretary.
