Morocco was rewarded by FIFA on Friday with hosting rights for the next Club World Cup in February, with an expanded 32-team edition set to launch in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European champion Real Madrid, South American champion Flamengo and Seattle Sounders, the first CONCACAF Champions League winner from the United States, will play in the traditional seven-team tournament from February 1-11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Morocco\u2019s inspiring run to the World Cup semifinals in Qatar, the country will now stage the next global soccer event in six weeks\u2019 time, FIFA\u2019s ruling council decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be one of the last seven-team editions for continental champions with an expanded, month-long tournament planned to start in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RED ALSO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the intended change was \u201cmaking it really like a World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Morocco, Casablanca should stage games with the city set to provide two teams in the 10-day competition, which features continental champions from each of the six confederations in world soccer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wydad won Africa\u2019s Champions League last season and also the Moroccan league. The place FIFA reserves for the host nation\u2019s domestic champion should revert to league runner-up Raja. Both teams are based in Casablanca, where the 67,000-seat Stade Mohammed V is the likely venue for some of the eight Club World Cup games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morocco also hosted Club World Cups in 2013 and 2014, which were won by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, respectively<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only European and South American teams have won the Club World Cup since it was revived in the current format in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIFA has long wanted to launch an expanded version with 24 or 32 teams in a tournament played in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A planned inaugural edition in 2021 in China was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, though no tournament format had been agreed nor broadcasters or sponsors signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2025 launch is now planned, Infantino said, promising talks with soccer stakeholders after the ruling council approved the principle Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be hosted in the United States and serve as a test event for the 2026 World Cup, which is being hosted in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
