Qatar interested in hosting ‘carbon-neutral' 2029 Club World Cup: Report
DPA Berlin Qatar is reportedly the latest country interested in hosting the next Club World Cup in 2029, which may then be a tournament in the European winter just like the 2022 World Cup. British paper The Guardian said on Saturday that Qatari officials 'have held talks with FIFA officials at the highest level' during the current edition in the United States and have 'indicated a desire to stage the next edition in four years' time.' The report said that Qatar pledges a carbon-neutral event because of short distances between venues which are to be the same ones used for the World Cup three years ago. The tournament in the US is under criticism over long distances between venues, the heat and storms which have led to several matches stopped, and also pitch conditions. Qatar's summer heat is even more intense which, if chosen, would mean that a Club World Cup there would be played in winter, possibly in December. The World Cup there took place mid-November to mid-December. European clubs may not be happy about another disruption of their season in such a scenario, but the US tournament comes at the end of their season amid player welfare concerns. A winter tournament would also either be just six months ahead of the 2030 World Cup, or if played in December 2028, half a year after Euro 2028 and the Copa America. Qatar are yet to make their interest official, while Spain and Morocco, two of the countries to host the 2030 World Cup, have each declared interest along with Brazil.
