Qatar is hosting the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup

FIFA announced that Qatar will host the final three matches of the first edition of the Intercontinental Club Cup, a tournament that replaced the traditional Club World Cup. Real Madrid will play the final in Doha, against an opponent yet to be determined, on December 18.

The city of Doha will also host a match between Pachuca, the Mexican team who are the current Concacaf champions, and future champions Libertadores, on December 11. The duel is classified by FIFA as an “American Derby”.

The winner of this match will face Al Ain (Asian champions) or Al Ahly (African champions), on December 14, also in Doha. Whoever wins it playoffs they will then face Real Madrid, the current Champions League champions.

Qatar has hosted the Club World Cup twice: once in 2019 and once in 2020. In addition, the country is hosting the 2022 World Cup.

It is worth remembering that, in addition to the Intercontinental Club Cup, FIFA announced a new Club World Cup, which will feature 32 teams and 63 matches, with its first edition scheduled to take place between June and July 2025, in the United States. Unlike the Intercontinental Cup which is still held every year, the Club World Cup will take place every four years.
