I thought a big part of Messi's Saudi Arabia tourism deal and the money thrown at players was to legitimise football in Saudi Arabia for the 2030 bid

2034 is still a possibility.
2030 has two serious bids by the sound of it but 2034 seems to have no real stand out at the moment.
There's probably a good 4-5 countires/regions you can guarantee will get a WC in the next 20-30 years. China, Saudi Arabia, Australia, North Africa, South-East Asia. UK hopefully at some point soon as well (maybe a little bias in this part).
Here’s hoping South America gets it. It would be the most relevant option historically speaking, and UEFA already got the WC two editions ago.
There's still the 2034 window
