FIFA awarded Morocco on Friday the hosting rights for the upcoming Club World Cup, which will take place in February and grow to 32 teams in 2025.
From February 1 through 11, the usual seven-team competition will feature Real Madrid, the European champion, Flamengo, the South American champion, and Seattle Sounders, the first American team to win the CONCACAF Champions League.
Following Morocco's remarkable journey to the World Cup semifinals in Qatar, FIFA's governing council announced that nation would now host the following major soccer competition in six weeks.
One of the final seven-team editions for continental champions will take place in 2025, when an enlarged, month-long competition will begin.
Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, stated that the goal of the move was to "make it genuinely resemble a World Cup."
