The following major soccer competition will be held in Morocco after the country’s thrilling and inspirational World Cup journey, which ended with their elimination in the semifinals in Qatar.

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.”

He said, “We had agreed a few years ago to have a new 24-team men’s Club World Cup. It should have taken place in 2021 but was postponed because of Covid.

“The new competition will take place in 2025 and will feature 32 teams, making it really like a World Cup.”

The Club World Cup was first staged in Morocco in 2013 and then again in 2014. The most recent tournament, which Chelsea won, was held in the United Arab Emirates in February.
