⚠️ CBF informs Fifa of interest in hosting the 2029 Club World Cup | OneFootball

Held in the United States, the 2025 Club World Cup has been a success, at least for Brazilian fans.

Thus, taking advantage of the tournament's "hype," the CBF informed FIFA of its interest in hosting the 2029 World Cup.

"It all started with an introductory conversation. I spoke about my goals at the helm of the CBF and said that we want to be closer to FIFA. I praised the event and the level of Brazilian clubs and, finally, offered the country to host the next World Cup. He was very happy, said it is totally possible. Now we will work to make it happen. It will be a great goal," said Samir Xaud, president of the CBF, in an interview with the newspaper O Globo.

The meeting between Samir Xaud and Gianni Infantino and Mattias Grafström, FIFA president and secretary-general, respectively, took place at the FIFA Executive Football Summit in Miami, with representatives from the entity's 211 member associations.

On social media, Infantino has been posting images of Brazilian fans celebrating while watching the games on the beaches of Brazil and in cities across the USA.

What could "play against" this "pre-candidacy" of Brazil to host the 2029 Club World Cup is that, initially, but not necessarily, the tournament would take place every four years as a replacement for the Confederations Cup, which was held a year before the World Cup as a "test event" for the host country.

In 2030, the World Cup will be held in Portugal, Spain, and Morocco, but with some matches taking place in Argentina and Uruguay as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the tournament's first edition.

According to the newspaper Estadão, besides Brazil, Morocco and Australia have also shown interest in hosting the 2029 Club World Cup.

The United States is highly regarded by the FIFA "leadership" to host the tournament again, but they have not yet shown interest.
