Morocco 2029 Club World Cup: FIFA’s Super Tournament Before 2030

This easing of the European position marks a turning point in relations between Aleksander Ceferin and Gianni Infantino. Previously opposed to any expansion threatening the supremacy of the Champions League, UEFA has accepted the reform in exchange for a guarantee that the tournament will not become biennial. According to information from The Guardian, this agreement reflects a desire to stabilize the international calendar after years of institutional tensions.

Morocco and Spain are emerging as the natural favorites to organize this XXL edition in summer 2029. The tournament would serve as a dress rehearsal for the two nations, which are major co-hosts of the 2030 World Cup. For the Kingdom, hosting such an event would confirm its status as a global football hub, while ensuring the participation of a European elite whose number of representatives would probably rise from 12 to 16 clubs.

This support comes as Real Madrid has ended its legal battle over the Super League in order to comply with the established order. The FIFA president wants to make the event “even bigger and more impactful,” notably seeking to guarantee the presence of giants such as Manchester United or Liverpool. This expansion would increase the revenues distributed, following the example of the 85 million pounds earned by Chelsea during its last world title.

Despite this consensus at the top, legal obstacles remain. The European Leagues group is continuing its action before the European Commission to challenge the overload of the match calendar. While UEFA remains concerned about the destabilizing effect of FIFA’s massive financial rewards on the European balance, it now favors controlled four-year expansion rather than a head-on confrontation with the global governing body.
