Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships celebrates the 25th anniversary of women's events featuring the world's top 10

 


AUSTRALIA: As celebrations continue in Saudi Arabia following the Kingdom's historic award of the 2034 FIFA World Cup last week, the victory is also being felt across the wider Asian Football Confederation.

The 2034 event will mark only the third time football's global showpiece has been held on Asian shores, following Japan-Korea 2002 and Qatar 2022, and will once again focus the world's attention on the best that Asian football has to offer has.

The President of the AFC, Bahraini Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, was the first to congratulate the new hosts. This is a momentous occasion for Saudi Arabia, the AFC and all of Asia, he said.

Saudi Arabia's successful bid is a testament to the Kingdom's vision, commitment and passion for football. We have full confidence in their ability to deliver an extraordinary FIFA World Cup that will leave a lasting legacy for the sport in Asia and beyond.

The AFC is committed to working closely with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and FIFA to ensure the successful implementation of the 2034 FIFA World Cup. Together we will create an unforgettable experience for football fans around the world.

This historic achievement marks a new chapter for Asian football. With Saudi Arabia set to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034, we are confident that Asia will continue to play a leading role on the world stage.

Rhysh Roshan Rai, a former Singapore footballer turned commentator, has covered some of Asian football's biggest moments, including the AFC Asian Cup, AFC Champions League and the Asian Qualifiers, and is enthusiastic about the potential development benefits for the region.

Asia is huge and diverse, so it's hard to speak for everyone, but I'm sure it's exciting for the fans in that part of the continent, he told Arab News.

Getting the opportunity to organize such a big event. They are big football fans in Saudi Arabia and very passionate about the game.

Speaking for myself, as a fan of Asian football, I'm looking forward to it and hopefully it will be something that can benefit the game in Asia.

These comments are echoed by Dejan Damjanovic, all-time top scorer in the AFC Champions League.

The 43-year-old, who retired from football last year after a brilliant 25-year career, is best known for his time in Korea with FC Seoul.

He holds the record for most goals in the AFC Champions League with 42, five more than Korea's Lee Dong-gook and 10 more than Saudi Nasser Al-Shamrani.

“I think it will be great,” said Damjanovic, who joined Al-Ahli on a six-month loan deal in 2006.

Everyone knows how much Saudi Arabia has invested in recent years and how much they will invest in the coming years. I'm sure they will make it an incredible World Cup.

I think this is going to be a great promotion for Saudi Arabia and the Middle East in general.

It may have only been six months that Damjanovic spent in Saudi Arabia, at a different point in the Kingdom's football development, but it clearly left an impact on him and the fans.

“I was just there on loan, and looking back now I'm really sorry I didn't stay longer,” he said.

When I came back in 2013 after six or seven years (for the AFC Champions League quarter-final), the fans still welcomed me very friendly and the game was incredible.

They are really nice memories, and when I'm with friends I always talk about them. It's really nice to have so many wonderful memories of ACL.

Meanwhile, Roshan Rai was in the Kingdom in October to commentate on Saudi Arabia's 0-0 draw with Bahrain in what turned out to be the final match of the Roberto Mancini era.

After experiencing first-hand the passion of the Saudi fans, not to mention the hospitality of the locals, the 39-year-old had no doubts about Saudi Arabia's ability to host the biggest sporting event in the world.

They will be great hosts, he said. They have been working on opening up the country and organizing major sporting and other events for some time now.

They have the infrastructure and certainly the resources to continue to build and improve whatever is needed to ensure they can be the best host possible.

From my own experiences there, the people were warm, friendly and welcoming. I think that will also be the case once the World Cup arrives.

He also spoke about the impact of organizing the World Cup. It is clear that there are business benefits in football, and there will be benefits as well.

But from a human perspective there will also be an advantage to this. People can sometimes observe things about certain places in the world. Stereotypes help us understand our world, so it's normal, but sometimes it helps to challenge those stereotypes.

I have been fortunate to travel across the continent and the world, meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. There are many things we have in common, but also differences that we should celebrate, respect and discuss.

There will be analysis and reporting on this event for a long time to come and that will highlight issues and put them on the table for discussion, to work on issues that need to be worked on by all parties.

There is no perfect place on this planet, but an open mind and a willingness to learn about each other will go a long way in our development as a species.
