In two months' time FIFA is set to confirm Saudi Arabia as the host of the 2034 World Cup. The world soccer body was urged again Friday to allow independent scrutiny of the kingdom’s human rights obligations for the tournament.

After Infantino was first elected in 2016, when scrutiny was intense on Qatar and its treatment of migrant workers, FIFA demanded a human rights strategy from future World Cup hosts.

A group of leading legal figures say Fifa has ignored their report on human rights concerns over the 2034 World Cup, warning that the governing body is “dealing with the devil” in planning to take the tournament to Saudi Arabia.

In May 2022, EA blew the whistle on its long-running deal with world football governing body FIFA. The publisher's execs had long grumbled that they were paying a huge royalty and had done more than anyone to grow the FIFA brand to where it is today,

FIFA didn't exactly get out of the video game business after parting ways with EA. Soccer’s governing body has teamed up with Konami to host two editions of the FIFAe World Cup on the console and mobile versions of eFootball later this year.

FIFA is partnering with Konami on the current edition of the FIFAe World Cup. eFootball will be used for the first time ever in the competition. FIFA is apparently working on its own competitor to EA FC.
