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.

Saudi Arabia, represented by the Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) and the Saudi Space Agency (SSA), participated in the 64th session of the Legal Subcommittee of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), held in Vienna, Austria, from May 5 to 16, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.

The session aimed to address legal issues related to space activities, including the legal aspects of the use of outer space and the challenges arising from commercial activities and space debris.

The session witnessed discussions and a general exchange of views on several topics related to the peaceful use of outer space, a review of the status and application of the five United Nations treaties related to outer space, and the definition and delimitation of outer space, in addition to various other topics.

COPUOS was established by the UN General Assembly more than 65 years ago and is headquartered in Vienna. The committee began with 24 member states and has since expanded to 102, making it one of the larger UN committees.

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) serves as the committee’s secretariat.
