We played in Ukraine when there was a war in that country. We’ve played in Turkey and there’s been a conflict going on there too between Turkey and the Kurds since 1978.
 
Not a chance of it being moved. Though depending on how things progress the chance of kidnapping could go up so be careful what taxis you get in.
 
I was thinking,due to the unrest in Israel & Palestine,will there be an option to move the club World Cup from Saudi Arabia if the trouble escalates
Saudi have great fighter jets and weaponry. Barclays and the UK sold some. No threat at all. Unless the whole region goes full war.

In Saudi? Im not sure Mossad are after City fans unless they need to nick a few British passport identities.

Saudi wants the publicity of the games and will
not move.

It still needs the clubs involved to agree to travel there especially if the region is still in turmoil.
 
If anyone thinks Hamas is going to go to Saudi and do a damned thing, I think
you’re mistaken. Same for the IDF.

This war is VERY local atm, and unless the Israeli Air Force heads to Iran, I’d expect it to stay that way.

As for the event, we NEED to win it, otherwise it will have been a massive waste of time and energy going into the Christmas period and the second half of the season!

Indeed.

City City the best team in the land and all the world will be a legitimate chant.

Always have been in our heads & hearts but we'll have a cup to prove it too!!!!

Agree but the clubs involved may have a different opinion with their multi billion pound squads.
Hopefully it goes ahead and we win it.

This is a warm-up for a Saudi World Cup bid. The teams will be protected like there’s no tomorrow, because the Saudis don’t want to put a foot wrong!
 
No fear of being accepted for a VISA, it was more the VISA fee I wanted to avoid.

I think it's only £30 though for an Electronic VISA waiver (EVW) after some investigation, whereas I had previously thought it was about £140 so not as bad.
It was 400 SAR last time I did it which is about 100 quid.

Jeddah is about 700 miles from Eilat which is the nearest Israeli City. Gaza is a further 150 miles. Can't see much happening in Jeddah. Saudi also doesn't generally allow Palestinians into the country - nevermind Hamas.
 
We are going to spend the same time and energy regardless if we win it or not.
Surely that misses the entire point of my post, no?!

Given the amount of time & energy that will be spent, we need to come back with the “Best Team in the Land and All the World” otherwise it will have been a complete waste of time & energy!

Heading into the New Year, when City often crank it up, if we come home knackered, with any injuries, and no trophy in hand, it’ll have been a disastrous distraction!
 
Just be thankful UEFA haven't enabled City's ticket office to fuck things up....
Don't think UEFA have any involvement to be fair.

Reassuring note from the in information (for those that have registered):
The unique link will go on sale the week commencing 2nd October

No real rush I guess - it's not for another two months, but don't get why they would say a date and then not announce why there has been a delay.
