FIFA Confirms Saudi Arabia as 2034 Football World Cup Host | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Human rights groups are criticising FIFA for its decision to award the 2034 football world cup hosting rights to Saudi Arabia. The kingdom's poor rights record has led to claims of "sportswashing" from activists. Similar charges were made leading up to the Qatar world cup in 2022. Palki Sharma decodes the debate around sportswashing.

Good Luck Saudi Arabia! I am positive you guys will create a splendid World Cup. Looking forward to it.

Which human rights are the Human Rights groups talking about? Those groups are from the West. One should ask them about human rights in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, DR Congo and many other places around the world. In those cases they shut their mouth. But when a country is awarded rights to host an event they start making noise.

Good Luke to Saudi Arabia I'm sure they will do great🙏💚

[FNaveed]

Qatar had one of the most exciting, convinient, accessible and non violent worldcup for everyone. Same will happen in Saudi Arabia…

[tanbirnr]

Meney can't buy everything ❌
Money can buy crazy ass happiness ✅

[brianwyse]

Where is Atul Subhash's story, feminist Palki?

[kubbzjnr]

Which human rights wen people are dying in GAZA, Syria and Africa 🌍 😢

[ericgyamfi]

At first I quit remembering Saudi criticized Qatar for hosting a world cup, and what changed now ?😂

[hafizmuhammadnauman]

In these times Saudia Arabia is a most safest country in the world for everyone . Great hospitality, peace and calm . Every place has some negative issue but overall will be very attractive for tourists also .
With every passing day things are getting great improvement.

[nabadeepkonwar]

Keep your public busy and keep their minds away from problems!

[saipranay]

They just bought out entire is not a surprise most saw this already

[lifewithatif]

Violence is all countries. What about Russia? Is US safe country?

Rules in Saudi which people dont like:

1- For Women, they are not allowed to go Naked or with illegal person
2- Homosexual not Allowed
3- crime not allowed
4- weapons not Allowed

Above is fair enough. Make logic and sense.

Football lovers should mostly consider the security and safety where Saudi is far far better than Brazil, Mexico, US, Russia

[ravianaudiobooks]

Love from Pakistan ❤, Saudi Arabia is 2nd home ❤

[Tirah]

Palki is criticizing Saudi Arabia like India won 1 gold medal in Olympics recently.

[michaelseti]

What does sexuality have to do with football!!!

[RastaAfricanGentleman]

That is good the Middle East needs it. Qatar now Saudi Arabia

[AnupamChatterjee-sk]

Saudi has positively changed a lot, I have been to Riyadh recently and it’s refreshingly welcoming and hospitable .

[KomalJogi-do]

It's must be frustrating to keep these organisations corruption free list while these events are unfolding at the world stage.

[Jazidane]

Palki supports LGBt but she never married her mother or sister haha

[noonecares]

Non democracies better of hosting this events at least they won't promote work culture
