President of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI), Mr. Erick Thohir, confirmed this information. He even wanted to drag Australia into the plan. “We are discussing the bid together with Australia. When I visited Malaysia and Singapore, both countries also expressed their desire to join our alliance".
Being Reuters Asked to comment on the possibility of joining the alliance, a representative of the Australian Football Federation said: "We will consider the possibility of bidding for FIFA Club World Cup 2029 or World Cup 2034“. The Asian Football Confederation said it would not comment on the move.
Indonesia will have to greatly improve its grounds, facilities and security if it wants to host the 2034 World Cup.
However, it must still be admitted that Indonesia or the Indonesia - Singapore - Malaysia alliance can hardly compete with Saudi Arabia, the strongest candidate for hosting the 2034 World Cup.
After announcing Spain, Morocco and Portugal as the three host countries of the 3 World Cup (Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina hosted the opening matches), FIFA invited Asia and Oceania to host the 2030 finals. Because according to the rotation plan, in 2034 it will be Asia and Oceania's turn to host the World Cup.
Saudi Arabia has been building a reputation by inviting the world's top stars, the country's facilities are always ready, and they are publicly supported by the AFC ( AFC is silent again about Indonesia's case). Therefore, it can be said that Saudi Arabia is still "holding the pole" in the race.
