RIYADH - Brazilian star of Al-Hilal FC Neymar Jr. expressed his admiration for Saudi Arabia's bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2034, emphasising that the Kingdom has the necessary infrastructure and capabilities to organise an exceptional World Cup, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

His remarks came during his tour of the Saudi Arabia FIFA World Cup 2034 Bid Exhibition, held in Riyadh.

"I think the bid is one of the best projects I have ever seen in my life. It has all the potential to be the best World Cup ever," Neymar said.

He highlighted that the Kingdom’s bid for the global event has been meticulously planned to ensure the best experience for both players and fans alike.

"Everything in this bid is designed to serve football. They are thinking about the players so that there are no long flights and travel times during the World Cup. This ensures easy movement between stadiums and hotels, giving players ample time to recover between matches and perform at their best,” Neymar said.

He also expressed his admiration for the Kingdom from the moment he arrived, noting the respect and enthusiasm in Saudi society for hosting top global stars in the ROSHN Saudi League.

The Brazilian star shared his deep appreciation for the warm welcome and is optimistic that many more international players will have the opportunity to enjoy a similar experience in the future. - BERNAMA-SPA
