When is World Cup qualifying draw and how does it work?

The announcement of Saudi Arabia as the host nation for the 2034 FIFA World Cup has sparked a global controversy.

The decision has reignited debates about sportswashing and the influence of wealthy nations on global sporting events. Amid growing calls for transparency, FIFA faces mounting scrutiny over its hosting selection process. #FIFA2034 #SaudiArabiaWorldCup #WorldCupControversy #NorwayObjection #FIFA #WorldCupHost #SaudiArabiaFIFA #FIFA2034Host #NorwayFIFA #ControversialHost #Saudi2034 #FIFAControversy #SportsPolitics #FIFAHostDebate #GlobalSports Also Read FIFA Confirms Saudi Arabia As 2034 World Cup Host Amid Norway’s Protest And Abstention :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/football/fifa-confirms-saudi-arabia-as-2034-world-cup-host-amid-norway-s-protest-and-abstention-4012663.html?ref=DMDesc IPL Auction 2025: Full List Of Sold And Unsold Players Revealed, Pant & Iyer Lead the Charts :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/ipl-auction-2025-full-list-of-sold-and-unsold-players-revealed-pant-iyer-lead-the-charts-011-3997131.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Mallika Sagar?
