Saudi Arabia has been awarded the 2034 FIFA World Cup today. How exactly did this happen? What does it tell us about modern-day FIFA? Miguel Delaney, author of ‘States of Play: How Sportswashing Took Over Football’ joins Joe as confirmation comes that Saudi Arabia has maneuvered its way into becoming 2034 World Cup hosts. It’s a story of Gianni Infantino and the wheels of FIFA moving ever closer to the Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. Human rights concerns in Saudi Arabia now take centre stage for many worried about where football is going. Sam Collins, producer & director of ‘Kingdom Uncovered: Inside Saudi Arabia’ joins us to discuss the extent of abuse that exists inside the country. Produced by Alanna Cunnane and Shane Brennan.
