The only reason this is called a "World Cup" is allegedly because the Crown Prince wanted to take shots at rival nation Qatar, who are hosting the actual World Cup in 2022 (and won the bid via bribery / corruption amongst FIFA top brass but that's another story). I saw on Reddit the official KSA press release for the event openly mocks / goads Qatar. The tournament itself is inconsequential.
