They are going up against a South American bid from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Hopefully that gets the support from everyone and Saudi Arabia gets called on their attempts to buy another sport.

Would make way more sense. Middle east got there's under extremely controversial circumstances. The middle east shouldn't be an option for another couple decades.

I don't actually hate the Egypt/Saudi/Greece bid. That said, I like the South American bid MUCH better, and especially for 2030. I would also argue that if they want another "arabic" Cup appearance, Spain and Portugal pairing with Morocco would be really good too.
