# Soccer: Australian professionals condemned world body Fifa for rewarding the 2034 men’s World Cup to Saudi Arabia, believing the tournament comes with significant human rights risks. The kingdom presented the only bid for the tournament and it was accepted on Wednesday. Co-CEO of Australia’s professional players’ body, Beau Busch, says the international soccer community should hold Fifa accountable for the decision, while other organisations also criticised the world body. Saudi-Arabia denied accusations of human rights abuses.
