Why would Saudi need co hosts? Saudi is a huge country all on its own with allot of money to host all on it's own. Or has the world cup changed the rules that you need 3 nations to host now?

They don’t need co-hosts but it helps drive appeal to the bid. Helping 2 smaller countries by footing the bill looks good on them. They are still hosting 75% of the tournament. Not having to build stadiums to host all the opening round games will also probably save them money and there’s a chance they can use existing infrastructure in the other countries.

Because Qatar just hosted the World Cup.
