The Riyadh Municipality announced on Wednesday plans to celebrate Saudi Arabia's successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2034 with a series of community events across the capital.

The festivities align with Saudi Vision 2030 and support the Kingdom's national football strategy, showcasing Riyadh's readiness to host major international events while boosting quality of life and fostering community engagement.

The celebrations will take place in four prominent locations: Al-Multaqa Park, Al-Wadi Park in the Al-Ulaysha district, Badr Park in the Dirab district, and Prince Abdulaziz bin Ayyaf Park.

Event highlights will include large-scale World Cup replicas, giant screens broadcasting celebratory moments and traditional folkloric performances, such as the Saudi Ardah. Commemorative souvenirs will also be handed out to visitors.

The activities reflect the municipality's strategic focus on positioning Riyadh as a global urban hub and a center for celebrating national milestones. The initiative underscores Saudi Arabia's ambitious vision for a thriving future, both locally and internationally, further cementing Riyadh's reputation as a prosperous and forward-looking city.
