Saudi Arabia Makes History Awarded 2034 FIFA World Cup in Groundbreaking Decision 🇸🇦👏🏼⚽️🎉


FIFA has officially announced Saudi Arabia as the host nation for the 2034 Men's World Cup. The decision was confirmed during an online meeting attended by representatives from over 200 FIFA member federations, led by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The vote, which took place on Wednesday in Zurich, was a significant moment in global soccer as Saudi Arabia became the first and only candidate for the 2034 tournament.

The decision to award Saudi Arabia the World Cup is seen as part of the country's broader efforts to elevate its international profile and develop soccer in the region.

The historic bid also includes participation from South American nations Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, with each of them set to host part of the tournament.

Salam Park: Riyadh's Urban Oasis of Culture and Nature 🇸🇦🌳

Nestled in the dense central district of Riyadh, Salam Park stands out as a unique urban oasis, attracting over 780,000 visitors annually. Spanning 25 hectares, this expansive park not only showcases verdant beauty and natural features but also plays a crucial role in enhancing the urban environment by offsetting pollution and conserving water resources.

A Blend of Culture and Nature

Salam Park is designed to integrate historic monuments from the early era of the modern Saudi state, thoughtfully incorporating local cultural and environmental elements. The use of indigenous materials and a gentle design language ensures the park complements its surroundings rather than appearing as an alien addition to the cityscape.

The park’s success can be attributed to its strategic location and the well-balanced design that includes robust detailing and a comprehensive long-term maintenance strategy. This collaborative effort was executed by Omrania & Associates Limited and the British firm Aukett Associates, resulting in a park that serves all residents, regardless of age or background.

Diverse Attractions

Covering an area of 248,000 square meters, Salam Park offers a wide range of attractions, including generous green spaces, groves, play areas, sports fields, and walking trails. Visitors can enjoy picnic spots, resting areas, three accessible entrances, a mosque, and a striking lake featuring boat rides and a spectacular fountain.

Key Zones of the Park
Salam Park is divided into four main zones:

The Lake Area: At the heart of the park is an artificial lake measuring 33,000 square meters, which constitutes 13% of the park area. This lake features designated zones for boating and bird watching, with a one-kilometer roofed footpath offering scenic views. The centerpiece is a captivating fountain with jets that shoot water up to 40 meters high, complemented by a colorful lighting display.

The Palm Grove: This northern section showcases a traditional farm with approximately 1,300 date palms, blending historic trees with newly planted ones. Families can find shaded spots to relax, alongside playgrounds and a children’s horse riding area.

The Hillside Zone: The park’s central area features a dynamic rolling landscape created from the excavated materials of the lake. It boasts expansive lawns popular in the evenings, with paths for both leisurely strolls and jogging, framed by shading deciduous trees.

The Ecological Zone: Located in the southeastern corner of the park, this area provides a natural habitat for local flora and fauna. Access is restricted to allow for the undisturbed growth of plants and wildlife.

Saudi Investment Minister Highlights $100 Billion Trade and 750 Chinese Companies Driving Economic Expansion in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦


The investment landscape between China and Saudi Arabia is increasingly promising, thanks to the rapid growth in their bilateral relations over recent years, according to Khalid Al-Falih, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Investment.

In a recent interview with Xinhua, Al-Falih highlighted the robust development of investment cooperation between the two nations. He noted that China has emerged as Saudi Arabia's largest trade partner, with bilateral trade exceeding 100 billion U.S. dollars last year. This positive momentum has continued into the first half of this year, signaling a strong and ongoing economic partnership.

Al-Falih pointed out that major Saudi enterprises, including the Public Investment Fund, Aramco, and SABIC, along with private sector companies, have made significant investments in China. These investments span various sectors and underscore the expanding economic ties between the two countries. Additionally, collaborations extend beyond national borders. For example, ACWA Power, a prominent player in renewable energy, clean energy, and water desalination, represents a successful venture between Saudi and Chinese firms in third countries.

Currently, around 750 Chinese companies are active in Saudi Arabia, contributing to key construction projects such as the ambitious Neom megaproject. This level of engagement reflects the depth of investment and collaboration between the two nations.

Al-Falih expressed a strong desire to further increase Chinese investments in Saudi Arabia, particularly in emerging economic sectors. He emphasized the kingdom's appealing investment environment, which has been enhanced by recent legislative and regulatory reforms.

“Saudi Arabia is open to Chinese investors and encourages them to explore the significant opportunities available in the kingdom,“ Al-Falih stated. He referenced the National Investment Strategy and the Invest Saudi platform, which together offer investment prospects valued at approximately 3 trillion dollars.

As the relationship between China and Saudi Arabia continues to strengthen, the potential for expanded investment cooperation remains substantial, with both countries poised to benefit from increased economic collaboration.

Qiddiya | القدية A Trillion-Riyal Investment Oasis

Qiddiya, the ambitious entertainment and leisure project in Saudi Arabia, is set to redefine the landscape of entertainment and tourism. The magnitude of this endeavor becomes apparent when considering the staggering total investment required, surpassing the one trillion riyals mark. This colossal investment signifies not only the scale of the project but also the commitment of Saudi Arabia to position itself as a global hub for entertainment and leisure.

The sheer magnitude of the investment underscores the grand vision that Qiddiya represents. It is not merely a theme park or an entertainment complex but an entire city dedicated to leisure and recreation. The funds allocated to Qiddiya are a testament to the Kingdom's determination to diversify its economy and reduce dependence on oil revenues.

One trillion riyals is a considerable sum by any measure, but it is not an expenditure; rather, it is an investment. Qiddiya is expected to be a lucrative platform, drawing investments not only from the domestic private sector but also from global investors seeking opportunities in the burgeoning entertainment industry. The allure of Qiddiya lies not just in its scale but in the potential returns it promises.

The private sector, both locally and globally, is anticipated to play a pivotal role in realizing the full potential of Qiddiya. As a magnet for investments, the project opens doors for businesses across various sectors, from hospitality and tourism to technology and entertainment. The ripple effects of Qiddiya's success will likely be felt in job creation, economic growth, and the establishment of a vibrant ecosystem around this entertainment city.

The global appeal of Qiddiya is undeniable. With its diverse array of attractions, including theme parks, sports facilities, cultural venues, and residential areas, Qiddiya aims to cater to a broad audience. Investors, recognizing the potential of tapping into a dynamic and evolving market, are likely to flock to Qiddiya, injecting vitality into the project and the surrounding economy.

The one trillion riyals investment is not just a financial commitment but a strategic move to position Qiddiya as a global entertainment destination. It is a bold step towards transforming Saudi Arabia into a key player in the entertainment and leisure industry. The Kingdom's leadership envisions Qiddiya as a catalyst for change, not only in the local economy but also in shaping perceptions about the country on the international stage.

In conclusion, the monumental investment in Qiddiya, exceeding one trillion riyals, symbolizes Saudi Arabia's dedication to diversification, economic growth, and global prominence. As this entertainment city takes shape, it is poised to become a beacon for private sector investments, both domestically and globally, and a testament to the transformative power of visionary initiatives.
