UAE to host Club World Cup in early 2022

Zurich, October 20 (BNA) FIFA President Gianni Infantino said on Wednesday that the United Arab Emirates will host the FIFA Club World Cup this season in early 2022.

Japan was originally scheduled to host the tournament in December this year but withdrew last month due to the COVID-19 situation in the country, Reuters reported.

FIFA last year chose Japan to host a traditional seven-club event after an expanded 24-team tournament, originally scheduled for June 2021 in China, was postponed due to the pandemic.

The annual competition brings together champions from the six world confederations.
