Club World Cup in Brazil? CBF president lifts the lid on the chances | OneFootball

Brazil is one of the candidates to host the Club World Cup in 2029, along with Qatar, Spain, and Morocco.

And the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Samir Xaud, opened up about Brazil's chances of winning this bid:

"They are very good. Since my first conversation with President Gianni Infantino, FIFA's receptivity was clear. He smiled when he heard our idea," Xaud told the newspaper O Globo this Saturday (12).

The CBF president has already commented on the next steps:

"From now on, we need to intensify the work, seek partnerships with public and private entities, remain committed to maintaining our stadiums, improving them when necessary, and rally the fans to embrace this idea."

Despite these needs, Samir Xaud highlighted strong points and mentioned the performance of the Brazilians in this year's World Cup.

Although they did not reach the final, Brazil achieved significant victories, such as Flamengo 3 x 1 Chelsea, Fluminense 2 x 0 Inter Milan, and Botafogo 1 x 0 PSG.

"We already have a consolidated infrastructure, with transportation, hotel network, gastronomy, and top-notch services. Of course, the outstanding campaign of our clubs and the demonstrations of passion from our fans help a lot," concluded Xaud.

This year's Club World Cup final will feature Chelsea vs. PSG, at 4 PM (Brasília time) on Sunday (13), in New Jersey.
