Report: Brazil requests to host 2029 FIFA Club World Cup

Brazilian Football Confederation aims to leverage growing football prominence and Flamengo's guaranteed berth to secure the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, officials confirmed.

  • Jan 26, 2026, Brazil asked FIFA to host the 2029 Club World Cup during a meeting with FIFA president Gianni Infantino in Rio de Janeiro, sources told ESPN Brazil.
  • The Brazilian Football Confederation has pursued hosting the Club World Cup for months, citing Brazil's national teams becoming more technical and physical, according to CBF vice presidents Samir Xaud and Gustavo Dias Henrique.
  • Meetings in Brasilia included Brazil team manager Carlo Ancelotti, CBF vice presidents Samir Xaud and Gustavo Dias Henrique, and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and Xaud said Infantino's reaction was positive.
  • FIFA has not yet outlined how formal bidding for the 2029 Club World Cup will work, and Flamengo is the only Brazilian team guaranteed a berth via their 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores win.
  • By asking to host, Brazil aims to capitalise on the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup launch in Copacabana, staged across eight host cities, amid strong global interest in Brazilian football fans.
