FIFA set to decide 2029 Club World Cup venue, Flamengo to take part | OneFootball

Success in 2025, Next Club World Cup Will Be in 2029

Champion of the 2025 Libertadores, Flamengo is qualified for the Club World Cup, which will take place in 2029. FIFA is close to deciding the location of the competition, with Morocco as the strong favorite to host the second edition of the tournament.

According to information from the Hespress Agency, Morocco has a 99% chance of hosting the Club World Cup. It’s worth noting that the country will also host the National Teams World Cup in 2030, together with Spain and Portugal. In other words, the interclub tournament would serve as a kind of ‘test event’.

The same happened in 2025, when the United States hosted the Club World Cup. Now, in 2026, the country will host the National Teams World Cup, together with Mexico and Canada. Therefore, FIFA’s idea is to continue holding the Club World Cup during the calendar slot that was previously reserved for the old Confederations Cup.

WAS BRAZIL IN THE RUNNING TO HOST THE WORLD CUP?

With Morocco’s imminent agreement, the African country surpasses Brazil, the United States, and Qatar, who all wanted to host the new edition of the Club World Cup. During the 2025 competition, the president of the CBF himself, Samir Xaud, had openly declared his desire to host the tournament, but there was no success with FIFA.

IS FLAMENGO THE FIRST SOUTH AMERICAN TEAM IN THE 2029 CLUB WORLD CUP?

By winning the Copa Libertadores in 2025, Flamengo is the first South American team to secure a spot in the Club World Cup. The tournament will feature six teams from the continent: the next three continental champions and two by the Conmebol ranking.
