Onde será sediado o Mundial de Clubes em 2029?
Fifa has not yet confirmed the host for the 2029 World Cup, but several strong contenders are vying for the position. The ultimate choice will likely consider not only infrastructure but also the schedule, as the organization favors holding the tournament in the middle of the year (June/July), which can either benefit or hinder certain nations based on their climate.
Currently, one of the most discussed possibilities involves a joint bid from Marrocos, Espanha e Portugal. Since these nations will be the primary hosts for the 2030 World Cup, hosting the Club World Cup a year prior would function as an excellent test event for the region's infrastructure and logistics.
In addition to them, the Austrália (possibly in conjunction with New Zealand) emerges as a strong contender, propelled by the recent success of the Women's World Cup held in the country.
Major competitors are emerging from The Middle East, specifically Catar e Arábia Saudita. Both possess substantial financial backing and advanced infrastructure; however, they contend with a significant technical challenge: the intense summer heat.
