FIFA Club World Cup: Sydney, Oct 31 (IANS) Football Australia on Tuesday opted out of the 2034 FIFA Men's Football World Cup bid, paving the way for Saudi Arabia to potentially host the tournament.

After successfully hosting the record-breaking FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023, which saw almost two million attendees, Australia's chances of hosting the 2034 Men's World Cup seemed bleak when the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) endorsed the Saudi bid.

"We have explored the opportunity to bid to host the FIFA World Cup and - having taken all factors into consideration - we have reached the conclusion not to do so for the 2034 competition." Football Australia said in a statement.
