Morocco edges closer to hosting the 2029 Club World Cup, pending official FIFA confirmation.

Morocco on the Verge of Hosting the 2029 Club World Cup

Morocco has emerged as the strongest candidate to host the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, according to local press, especially after the country earned praise for hosting the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

A report cited by Hesport quotes a source close to the file saying Morocco's chances "reach 99%" as decision circles align, awaiting FIFA's official announcement.

FIFA views 2029 as an advanced test of Morocco's infrastructure, venues, logistics, and experience running major football events, ahead of a joint 2030 World Cup bid with Spain and Portugal.

The last edition of the Club World Cup was staged in the United States last summer, featuring 32 teams for the first time, and it served as a warm-up for North America's World Cup plans with Canada and Mexico.

Morocco's leadership in this process signals readiness to push forward on stadiums and operations, and to showcase the country's ability to host a global football festival.

Punchline 1: If Morocco lands the gig, even the coffee breaks will be well-timed—precision on a par with a well-aimed farewell pass.

Punchline 2: And remember: with odds like 99%, FIFA might need a bigger trophy case, because Morocco is about to crowd the shelves with victory glitter.
