PaokCT Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I saw online that according to reports "Greece will join Saudi Arabia & Egypt in a bid to host the 2030 World Cup. It is believed the Saudis are willing to foot most of the bill with Panathinaikos & PAOK getting new stadiums as part of the bid which would also use Karaiskakis & OPAP Arena." This would be a super weird pairing for WC hosts. I could see a Greece and Egypt WC using antiquity as a theme. Shoot even get Rome involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brklyngrk Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 If Italy got involved, Greece would host 1 game, Egypt 1 and the rest would go over there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellada2004 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I heard about this a week ago. Greece I heard could stage the opening game. The Saudis are willing to throw a tonne of money around to land the World Cup so if Qatar got it I think this bid could be successful as well. Also Portugal & Spain have a bid and added Ukraine? The UK are planning a bid as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaokCT Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 This whole joint bid phase we are in is stupid. Just have it in one country or rotate continents every 4 years and have host cities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphonse Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I agree, getting bit much with over three countries in bids now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brklyngrk Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Greece doesn't have the funds to finance the world cup on its own. That is why Saudi Arabia is involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer one country host the world cup for the Euro the two country host system has worked out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyp Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 No thanks. I wouldn’t even trust the saudis to scrape the gum off my shoes. They always have their motive. It’s to kiss ass to the western world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEK RE GAMOTO Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I want NOTHING to do with ANYTHING that involves Saudi Arabia. The fact that Greece is considering this is an utter disgrace, in my opinion. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaokCT Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Looks like Ronaldo is going to Saudi Arabia. Rumors are that he’s going to be the poster boy of Saudi getting that bid. Imagine Ronaldo helping us get a WC after 2004 ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ronaldo and the Saudis money looks like this bid can give the four country South American bid a run for their money. Saudis have close ties with Infantino. I am not a big fan of this multi country bid for the World Cup or Euros. Especially when it’s more than two countries hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaokCT Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 The Saudis are willing to pay for our stadiums in exchange for 3/4 of the tournament being played there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brklyngrk Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 This deal is mutually beneficial. We get to upgrade our stadiums at the cost of giving up our rights on hosting World Cup games. The truth is we would not even be in consideration if it wasn't for this offer so you take this deal every day!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
