Saudi Arabia Has Agreed To Build Greece Every Stadium It Needs If They Agree To Join A Bid With The Saudis And Egypt To Host The 2030 World Cup
The list of projects for Saudi Arabia sovereign wealth fund continues to grow. The linear cities, a Premier League power house, sustainable resorts, world's tallest skyscraper, and now potentially soccer stadiums in other countries in an effort to be the second middle eastern country to host a World Cup. It wasn't too long ago that Saudi Arabia was known for oil and human rights atrocities. Now they're known for oil, human rights atrocities AND ambitious projects.
Saudi Arabia has an inconceivable amount of money and as much as people would like it to, fossil fuels aren't going away any time soon. For the first time ever Saudi Arabia seems like they're trying to diversify their portfolio and clean up their image. Sportwashing is the latest and greatest thing and the Saudis want a taste of that. And just how fossil fuels aren't going away, neither is corruption at FIFA. I am sure that Mohammed bin Spendin will give as many bags of cash to as many people as he needs to in order to secure the 2030 World Cup bid. He's even willing to fund the projects in other countries to strengthen their chances.
Qatar reportedly spent a MINIMUM of $200 BILLION to host the World Cup. Sounds like a big number, but MBS could find that in the ashtray of one of his super yachts. Crazy article and crazier rabbit hole to go down if you're interested. The 21st century is off to a HOT start. Multiple poles of power all battling it out for world domination. One big game of Risk. One of the best board games ever made and one you should vote for in this week's poll
