2020 FIFA Club World Cup


The 2020 FIFA Club World Cup is scheduled to be the 17th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised international club football tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations, as well as the host nation's league champions. The tournament is scheduled to be hosted by Qatar in December 2020. It will be the final FIFA Club World Cup to feature seven teams before revamp to 24 teams in 2021 in China.
Liverpool were the defending champions, but will not defend their title after being eliminated in 2019–20 UEFA Champions League round of 16.

Host appointment

With proposals for an expanded Club World Cup, FIFA delayed the announcement of a host. On 28 May 2019, FIFA announced that the 2019 and 2020 tournament host would be appointed at the FIFA Council meeting in Paris, France on 3 June 2019.
Qatar was appointed as the host for the 2019 and 2020 tournaments on 3 June 2019, serving as test events ahead of their hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The tournament will retain its original format ahead of the revamp in 2021.
