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.

An Australian student missing for two weeks near the country's tallest mountain was found on Wednesday, after surviving by foraging for berries, drinking water from a creek and finding two muesli bars left behind by other hikers, police said.

Hadi Nazari, a 23-year-old university student from Melbourne, went missing from his group of friends on December 26 in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Nazari was found on Wednesday afternoon by a group of hikers who alerted the authorities, police in the state of New South Wales said.

“This is the fourteenth day we've been looking for him and for him to come out and be in such good spirits and in such great condition, it’s incredible," NSW Police Inspector Josh Broadfoot said.

The student was in "really good spirits" with no significant injuries, he added.

More than 300 people had searched for Nazari across rugged bushland, police said. The national park is home to the 2,228 meter (7,310 foot) Mount Kosciuszko.
