SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 31, 2023 | SaltWireLONDON - Australia would have found it difficult to compete with Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2034 men's World Cup, Football Australia chief executive James Johnson said on Tuesday after his country opted not to enter the race to stage the tournament.
"It was a little bit of a surprise that it was going to be an earlier process, but look, we're adults and we've just tried to roll with it and deal with the cards that we've been given," he told reporters in a video conference call from Doha. Johnson said Australia, who recently co-hosted the Women's World Cup with New Zealand, would instead focus on bids for the 2026 Women's Asian Cup and the 2029 Club World Cup.
