Morocco are reportedly in FIFA's frame to stage the 2029 Club World Cup, a year before co-hosting the 2030 World Cup.
Africa could be about to land another global football showpiece. Morocco have reportedly emerged as potential hosts of the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, with FIFA weighing options for the next edition of the expanded tournament.
Local media reports suggest the Atlas Lions' homeland is among the countries under consideration. FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) are also said to be in talks over the organisation and scheduling of major competitions. No host has been officially named.
The reported interest fits Morocco's rising profile as a football destination. The country has poured investment into stadiums and sporting facilities in recent years, with those projects forming part of its preparations for upcoming international tournaments. Staging the Club World Cup would give it another stage to show off its organisational capability and bring elite clubs to African soil.
The timing would add to the story. The tournament would land just a year before Morocco co-hosts the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal, making it a natural dress rehearsal on the road to that milestone.
For now, it all remains unconfirmed. Until FIFA makes an announcement, Morocco's candidacy is a reported possibility rather than a done deal, but it is one African football fans will be watching closely.
