Morocco to Battle Qatar for Club World Cup Hosting Rights
Morocco is throwing its name into the hat to host the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. According to Spanish outlet Marca, the North African nation has quietly begun exploring the timelines and requirements, even though it's already co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal. Spain was the first to say they're keen, followed swiftly by Brazil. But now things are heating up as Qatar's stepped in with a déjà-vu proposal: a winter tournament. English newspaper The Guardian says Qatari officials have been holding backroom chats in the US with FIFA representatives, pushing for a December 2029 tournament. Think carbon-neutral, minimal travel, ready-made World Cup stadiums, and no long trips between 11 cities like the current edition in America. Meanwhile, over in the US, this year's Club World Cup has been a meteorological nightmare. Chelsea vs Benfica was delayed two whole hours thanks to lightning, marking the sixth weather-disrupted match. After a 113-minute weather delay in Charlotte on Saturday, Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca sounded off about the situation. 'For me personally it's not football,' Maresca said, via Oliver Kay of The Athletic. 'It's already seven, eight, nine games that they suspended. It's a joke to be honest.' And it's not just a one-off. Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup is also expected to shift to winter. So Qatar's idea isn't sounding so mad after all. The big question now is: Which country will FIFA pick for the second edition of the Club World Cup? Tags: BrazilClub World CupHosting RightsMoroccoQatarSpain
