The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is keen to take workers from Bangladesh for the construction of a number of new stadiums and supporting infrastructure for the FIFA World Cup 2034.
Saudi Ambassador to Bangladesh Issa bin Youssef Al-Dahilan came up with the comments while talking to the Arab News on Tuesday.
“Bangladeshi workers already have experience with the World Cup in Qatar,” the envoy said.
“I urge the construction companies from Bangladesh to go to Saudi Arabia because we will build 11 stadiums and renovate five other existing stadiums.
So this will also be a big opportunity for the companies and for the workers to go and participate in this … And not only the construction of stadiums, but hotels and resorts.
This will be a very good opportunity for Bangladesh,” he asserted. Saudi Arabia has secured the bid to host the world’s largest sporting event, with plans to stage games across 15 stadiums in five cities.
