The next club world championship 2029 could take place in Qatar. According to information from the British newspaper “The Guardian”, the Emirate is again interested in the orientation of a large football tournament three years after the controversial winter World Cup 2022. Spicy: Qatar would move the club World Cup to winter time just like the 2022 tournament-with possible complications for league and European Cup.
According to the report, representatives of Katar have already spoken to this with “highest” officials of the World Association FIFA during the current club World Cup in the USA. The small peninsula on the Persian Gulf then advertises with the short distances between the venues and the already tournament stadiums of the 2022 World Cup.
Three competitors for club World Cup 2029 already known
The current tournament in the United States is also criticized because the fans sometimes have to accept long trips between the eleven venues and make extreme weather conditions difficult for most teams. “The United States is not the right place for this competition,” said Chelsea trainer Enzo Maresca, after the round of 16 of his club against Benfica Lisbon (4: 1 after extra time) was interrupted for almost two hours due to an impending storm.
In contrast to Qatar, three other countries have already publicly announced their interest in the 2029 club World Cup: Spain and Morocco see this a possible dress rehearsal for the World Cup 2030. The tournament would also like to organize the tournament.
