FIFA has yet to open bids for the 2029 tournament. The first extended version of the Club World Cup was held in the United States last year, with Chelsea emerging as champions. Competing bids are expected from Spain, Morocco and Qatar.
While Spain, Morocco and Portugal will host the 2030 World Cup, the Club World Cup host squad will operate independently. This marks a departure from past practice, where tournaments such as the Confederations Cup often served as test events for the World Cup.
Infantino’s visit to Brazil coincided with events related to the 2027 Women’s World Cup, which Brazil will host for the first time. On Sunday, FIFA unveiled the official branding for the event, which will see 32 teams compete between June and July.
