Mexico’s Pachuca became the first team to lift the FIFA Derby of the Americas trophy by defeating Botafogo in Doha.

Human rights groups believe Fifa, world football's governing body, has "not learned the lessons" of Qatar's "much-criticised" preparations to host the 2022 World Cup, said Time. As a result, concerns are now growing over who will build the necessary infrastructure, as well as the plight of female and LGBTQ+ football fans.

With Qatar having already hosted in 2022, Asia’s turn would have come at 2042 to host another World Cup under the terms of confederation rotation. However, the FIFA move to stage the 2030 edition across three confederations (UEFA, CAF and CONMEBOL) pushed Oceania and Asia to the front of the queue for 2034.

The 2034 tournament will be the first 48-team World Cup to be played in a single country after Saudi Arabia was named the host on Wednesday.
