Recap: All the reaction as Saudi Arabia confirmed as Fifa World Cup 2034 hosts, with 2030 co-hosts confirmed as Spain, Portugal and Morocco

Danish football Federation (DUB) decided, based on a thorough process, to support the overall package of the two World Cup bids with expectations that Fifa will follow up on, among other things, the requirements for human rights before and during the final rounds.

Jesper Moller, DBU Chairman: “We would have liked to see more bids for both the 2030 and 2034 World Cups, and we are critical of the overall process.

“This is something we want to raise with Fifa to ensure greater diversity and competition in future bidding processes.

“At the same time, we recognize that the size of the tournament and the infrastructure requirements naturally limit the number of countries that can realistically bid to host.

“This emphasizes the need for open and transparent processes that ensure that all potential candidates have the opportunity to participate.”

“In DBU and in Danish football, we stand for Danish values ​​such as community and respect and our Danish approach to human rights, labour rights and other rights.

“We do this in everyday life and we do this when we are at meetings and tournaments in other parts of the world.

“However, we must recognize that other countries have different values ​​and different attitudes to rights, this also applies to the countries that have bid to host the World Cup.

“We are one of 211 associations and cannot decide the location of the final rounds alone.”
