FIFA has been accused of an “astonishing whitewash” over Saudi Arabia’s 2034 World Cup bid.

The Middle East kingdom was given a record score in a FIFA evaluation report published late on Friday, paving the way for its hosting of the finals in 12 years’ time to be rubberstamped at FIFA Congress on December 11, where it is the sole bidder.
