Saudi Arabia would be ready and willing to host a 64-team World Cup in 2034 if Fifa accepts a controversial proposal to expand the tournament from 48, according to the kingdom's sports minister.

Saudi Arabia open to 64 teams at 2034 World Cup

South America's Conmebol has officially suggested staging the centenary 2030 World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco with 64 teams but the idea has been opposed by some other continental confederations.

Next year's tournament hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico will have 48 countries participating, up from 32 in 2022.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal told a select group of reporters at the Saudi Arabian Formula One Grand Prix in Jeddah that his country would have no objection to an increase in the numbers for 2034.
