As Saudi Arabia prepares to host the FIFA World Cup for the second time, the country is set to benefit significantly from the event, particularly in terms of job creation. According to reports, over 165,000 job opportunities will be generated by 2030 across various sectors, including tourism, aviation, communications, real estate, construction, hospitality, transportation, entertainment, and sports. These job opportunities will play a crucial role in supporting the nation’s economy and infrastructure development.
The Saudi government has also made plans to utilize the World Cup infrastructure beyond the event, ensuring long-term benefits. This strategic approach is expected to significantly reduce costs, with estimates suggesting a saving of up to four billion dollars. Unlike past World Cup host nations, where infrastructure was often abandoned after the event, Saudi Arabia plans to make the most of the facilities, positioning them for future use and contributing to the country’s long-term growth and development.
