USA Could Host 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, Reports Claim

FIFA is considering organizing the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup in the USA for a second consecutive time, according to media reports.

The US will host the inaugural edition of the first-ever 32-team FIFA Club World Cup next summer, before hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Last week, FIFA announced a global $1billion broadcast deal with DAZN for the 2025 Club World Cup, before organizing the draw of the tournament.

The draw featured all 32 qualified teams from AFC, CAF, Concacaf, OFC and UEFA.

The event format asserted that no group included more than one team from the same confederation, except UEFA.

Teams from the same countries, like Chelsea and Manchester City and Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, also could not be placed into the same group.

Among the big teams competing at next year's tournament are UEFA Champions League winners La Liga giants Real Madrid, Brazil’s Botafogo who won the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores and Al Ahly of Egypt, who won three of the last four CAF Champions League titles.
