The first-ever expanded FIFA Club World Cup was held in 2025, with the next edition scheduled for 2029. FIFA is now considering potential hosts for the tournament.
Details: According to Polymarket, FIFA is currently in talks over hosting the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar. The proposal would see the tournament played during the winter, while also expanding the competition to 48 teams.
Meanwhile, former footballer Samir Nasri was recently detained as part of a money laundering investigation linked to an organised criminal group involved in illegal drug trafficking. Nasri spent around ten hours in custody and was questioned by investigators before being released on Thursday, 9 July.
Reminder: One of England's players was sent off in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup but, instead of receiving a one-match suspension, was handed a two-match ban.
