Brazil will take a new step to consolidate itself as the epicenter of international football. The president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Samir Xaud, confirmed this Monday that the country will submit a bid to host the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, convinced that the infrastructure and recent experience place the South American giant in a favorable position.

Brazil is ready to host this grand event," Xaud told the press, in an appearance alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino, during an official visit to Brasilia. The official was cautious, noting that the process requires adjustments and negotiations. Hosting the tournament, which held its first edition last year in the United States and crowned Chelsea champions, “requires many conversations and many adjustments,” he noted, making it clear that there is still no formal bid, although there is a firm intention. The announcement came in a relevant institutional context. Xaud and Infantino, accompanied by Brazilian national team coach Carlo Ancelotti, were received by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the Planalto Palace, the seat of the federal government. The meeting revolved mainly around another major commitment that already has a date and venues set. The 2027 Women's World Cup as a prelude. Beyond the 2029 project, the meeting focused on the 2027 Women's World Cup, which will be held in Brazil and will mark the first edition of the tournament in South America. Infantino expressed enthusiasm about the organization and the impact the tournament will have. "We talked about football, about the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. We agree that it will be the best World Cup in history. We will have between three and four million fans from all over the world filling the eight wonderful stadiums in the eight host cities," declared the FIFA president. The Swiss official emphasized that the country has already finalized the main logistical aspects. “It will be a complete success (…) We don't need anything more than the joy of the people,” he added, after assuring that stadiums, hotels,and airports are prepared to receive thousands of visitors. Xaud agreed that the women's tournament will mark a turning point for the region. "We want to celebrate the best and biggest Women's World Cup in history. We are together to do our best and, if possible, for the title to stay here in Brazil," he expressed.
