Saudi Arabia wants to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, and the country is looking to catch eyes with a bid that mentions building a stadium more than 1,000 feet above the ground in a desert city that does not exist yet.
According to the official bid, Saudi Arabia plans to construct the stadium in a linear city called THE LINE, which is projected to measure 1,640 feet high, 656 feet wide and 105 miles long.
