Times: “Saudi Arabia bids alongside Egypt and Greece for 2030 World Cup”

A month after cairo24.com published that Greece wanted to organize the 2030 World Cup together with Saudi Arabia and Egypt, another publication confirms the above scenario.

And that’s because it comes from the Times, where the English media claims Saudi Arabia is ready to announce a joint bid with Egypt and Greece to host the 2030 World Cup.

“As with this year’s World Championships in Qatar, if the application is successful, the tournament should take place in winter to avoid the extreme temperatures in June/July.

It is understood that Saudi Arabia will be the main partner and will bear or at least contribute to the infrastructure costs of the other two countries. Since 2017, Saudi Arabia has embarked on a massive program to bring sporting events to the oil-rich Gulf state.

The bid is expected to be announced in the coming weeks and would pose a serious challenge to the UEFA-backed Spain-Portugal joint bid as it spans three confederations and could therefore attract support from Asia and Africa and possibly some European countries.”it says, among other things, in the relevant publication.

Furthermore, the same report refers to the appointment that the FIFA President Gianni Infantino wanted to have a few days ago with the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and also with the President of the Hellenic Football Federation Panagiotis Baltakos to demonstrate Greece’s readiness to the England midfielder to play a role in the organization.
