Cristiano Ronaldo believes the 2034 World Cup will be “the most beautiful” edition of the tournament ever.
Ronaldo has been vocal in his belief in the Saudi Pro League, saying in January 2024 that it was better than Ligue 1.
The Portugal international said in an interview with the club: “Of course, we (the Saudi Pro League) are still improving. I believe that in this moment that we are top five (leagues in the world) already. I still believe that we will continue to improve, and we have time.
“We have shown in the last two years that the league is going up all the time. I am happy because I know that the league is very competitive. Only the people who have never played in Saudi Arabia and know nothing about football say this league is not top five (in the world).
“I believe 100% in my words, and the people that play in this league know what I am talking about. So this is why I want to stay (in Saudi), because I believe in the project.
“Not just the next two years but until 2034, which is when the World Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia. I believe that will be the most beautiful World Cup ever.”
