Saudi Arabia will be confirmed by FIFA as host of the men's soccer 2034 World Cup on Wednesday, giving the oil-rich kingdom its biggest prize yet for massive spending on global sports driven by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Human rights concerns overshadow the 2034 World Cup decision. Norway will abstain from the vote awarding the tournament to Saudi Arabia, citing inadequate measures to protect worker rights and concerns about a repeat of the Qatar situation.

The win will kick off a decade of scrutiny on Saudi labor laws and treatment of workers mostly from South Asia needed to help build and upgrade 15 stadiums.
