Greece and Saudi Arabia have withdrawn from the bid to co-host the 2030 World Cup.
"Greece and Saudi Arabia are withdrawing from the claim of co-hosting - together with Egypt - the 2030 World Cup", according to a Kathimerini publication.
"Because 2030 is the year of Europe and, as it was emphasized, "too much pressure was exerted for Spain and Portugal to take over the organization", the Saudis decided to withdraw, informing Greece about this as well, after a telephone conversation with the official Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vassilis Kaskarelis, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal Bin Farhan", the publication concludes.
