When and where will the next Club World Cup be played? Date, venue, and what's known so far

Chelsea's surprise victory over PSG concluded the first Club World Cup under this new format. The format is similar to that of the Qatar World Cup , with 32 teams, groups, and knockout stages.

In addition to the format change, FIFA also changed the prize money. For this year's World Cup, more than $2 billion in prize money was allocated . These figures are expected to continue to grow over the years.

It's worth noting that with the change in format, the calendar also changes. Remember that the Club World Cups used to be held every year, as part of the end of the European season and the mid-season of the South American leagues.

But with the new "Super Club World Cup," as it has been dubbed, it's no longer just the champions of each continent who will compete. All six FIFA confederations have representatives on these 32 teams, and so it will go from being played every year to every four years. In this case, the next Club World Cup will be in 2029.

Although the official dates are not yet available, all indications are that it will take place during June and July of that year. It will be held as part of the 2028-2029 season schedule, as the final tournament of the season.

After the United States became the host of the first Club World Cup in this format, a new host is being sought for the next World Cup.

This World Cup was widely criticized, among other things, for the temperatures during the matches . And there are already two candidates to take over organizing the event in the future.

Qatar and Brazil are emerging as candidates to host the next edition of the tournament , according to information gathered by ESPN Brasil. The South Americans are "confident" that the next major Club World Cup event will be held in Rio de Janeiro.

According to information gathered by this same media outlet, the Brazilian Football Confederation has stated that “Infantino was happy and very receptive to the idea” of Brazil hosting this tournament in the future.

Although, according to El País , Qatar has the advantage over the South American country in organizing this tournament in 4 years, this is due to the relationship between Nassr - Al Khelaifi, president of PSG and a strong player in the state of Qatar, with the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino.

Although this year's edition has just concluded, four teams have already qualified for the next tournament, as champions of their respective confederations' tournaments:
