Egypt announced on Friday that it is in talks with Greece and Saudi Arabia over a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup.

The first negative reaction after the possible candidacy of Egypt, Greece and Saudi Arabia

The organization Amnesty International immediately reacted to this news, saying that Saudi Arabia cannot participate in such a candidacy if FIFA will take into account the criteria related to human rights, reports DPA.

Amnesty also says FIFA still made two big mistakes when it awarded Russia the right to host the 2018 World Cup and Qatar this year.
