The 2023 Club World Cup will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, FIFA said on Monday (26).
The decision was taken after a FIFA delegation visited Jeddah last week to assess preparations for the tournament.
“We are delighted that Jeddah, with its state-of-the-art facilities and reputation for hosting major international sporting events, has been chosen as the host city for the FIFA Club World Cup,” said Saudi Football Federation (SAFF) President Yasser Al Misehal.
The tournament, to be played from December 12-22, will be held in Saudi Arabia for the first time, as announced in February.
The 2023 edition of the Club World Cup will be the last of the current format – an annual seven-team competition – which will be discontinued ahead of its expansion to a 32-team event to be held for the first time in 2025 in the United States.
