<p>The next FIFA <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/club-world-cup-tv-schedule-streaming-links/">Club World Cup</a> could be coming to the United States.&nbsp; According to recent <a href="https:\/\/en.as.com/soccer/us-in-contention-to-host-club-world-cup-as-real-madrid-eye-sextuple-n/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, the international governing body of soccer eyes a new venue for the tournament. Previously, the frontrunners for hosting were China and the United Arab Emirates. Nevertheless, neither country reached a final agreement with FIFA.</p>
<p>There is no indication as to what cities would host games in the Club World Cup in the United States.</p>
<p>As of early September, no final decision of official. However, the United States moved to the head of the line when it comes to hosting the competition. If secured, it would take place likely in February of 2023. Traditionally, the tournament occurs in December of each year. Yet, FIFA bumped the last two competitions into February of the following year, and the ‘2022’ version looks to follow suit.</p>
<h5>Scheduling the Club World Cup</h5>
<p>Scheduling dates for the upcoming Club World Cup are something to keep an eye on. It makes sense to put the FIFA Club World Cup in December of each year, as it pits that year’s continental winners against one another. However, with the World Cup set for November and December, FIFA likely does not want to stack tournaments in quick succession. The likely timeframe for the tournament in 2023 falls into Feb 6-12, a good two months removed from the World Cup.</p>

<p><script async="" src="https:\/\/platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Even then, certain competitions have schedule constraints. The UEFA Champions League knockout stage takes place Feb. 14 and 15. In Spain, the Copa del Rey looks set for the eighth and ninth of the same month. <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/teams/real-madrid-tv-schedule/">Real Madrid</a> is a likely contender in both of these competitions. Plus, it represents UEFA at the Club World Cup. Consequently, <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2022/09/04/top-european-clubs-face-challenge-of-depth-in-condensed-season/">February would be a hectic month</a>, to say the least, for&nbsp;<em>Los Blancos.&nbsp;</em>The simple solution for this scenario would be for the Spanish Football Federation to move the Copa del Rey matchdays, should Real Madrid be involved.</p>
<h3>FIFA Club World Cup in the United States brings change</h3>
<p>The 2023 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States would bring change for a number of reasons. First off, it would be the first time this tournament finds a host in North America. The traditional host is an Asian country, whether that be Japan, the UAE or Qatar.</p>
<p>Also, FIFA wants to <a href="https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/when-next-fifa-club-world-cup-who-seattle-sounders-face/hcwtpdxanxdriakswjvkpyyx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expand the tournament to 24 teams</a>. Previously, the competition only allowed spots to the continental cup champions, plus the winners of the host’s domestic league. FIFA plans on having 24 teams in the competition divided into eight groups of three. However, <a href="https:\/\/en.as.com/en/2019/10/24/soccer/1571916175_506197.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA wants less representation</a> in order to partake in its own competitions.</p>
<p>Some sides are guaranteed to play, regardless if the quantity of teams rises. UEFA’s representative is Real Madrid. MLS side Seattle Sounders won the CONCACAF Champions League for the first time, punching its ticket to the Club World Cup, which could very well be in the United States as a home advantage.</p>

For the first time, the FIFA Club World Cup may be coming to the United States. Other potential hosts do not have any agreement in place.

FIFA Club World Cup could be coming to the United States

<p><a href="https:\/\/www.fubo.tv/welcome?irad=366904&amp;irmp=330866" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_new"></a></p><div><figure class="image"><a href="https:\/\/www.fubo.tv/welcome?irad=366904&amp;irmp=330866" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_new"></a></figure></div><p></p>
<p>Ahead of February 3’s kickoff, <a href="https:\/\/www.fubo.tv/welcome?irad=366904&amp;irmp=330866" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_new">fuboTV</a> secured the exclusive broadcast rights to the FIFA Club World Cup in Canada.</p>
<p>The Club World Cup pits each soccer federation’s club champion against each other. The annual tournament takes place over nine days from a country that differs each year. However, FIFA switches the host every two years, typically in Africa, Asia or the Middle East.</p>
<p>This year, the tournament takes place in the United Arab Emirates.</p>
<p>Despite taking place from February 3 to 12 in 2022, the tournament is under the name of the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup. Originally, FIFA scheduled the tournament for the Summer of 2021. However, due to a congested schedule of the Olympics, Copa America and UEFA European Championship</p>
<p>fuboTV acquiring the rights to broadcast the Club World Cup in Canada allows Canadians easy access to watch some of the world’s best. Of course, many of those players come from the UEFA and CONMEBOL.</p>
<p>This year, UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea enter as the pre-tournament favorite. The CONMEBOL representative is Palmeiras, which won the Copa Libertadores in 2021.</p>
<h5>Historical Success</h5>
<p>This is not Chelsea’s first time in the FIFA Club World Cup, nor is it for Palmeiras. Ergo, the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup will crown a first-time champion.</p>
<p>That being said, the continents these two teams hail from are the only two continents to produce a champion. Unsurprisingly, UEFA is the most successful federation. Of the <a href="https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us/fifa-club-world-cup/erfolge/pokalwettbewerb/KLUB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">17 tournaments</a>, 13 tournaments went to UEFA sides.</p>
<p>For the other four tournaments, three different Brazilian sides make up all of those triumphs. Internacional and Sao Paulo each have a Club World Cup trophy, in 2006 and 2005 respectively. Then, Palmeiras’s long-storied rival Corinthians is the most successful South American side, with two tournament wins.</p>
<p>Even then, Spanish sides have a clear-cut dominance in the competition. Real Madrid’s four titles and Barcelona’s three reflect the brilliance of those clubs from 2007 to 2018.</p>
<p>This year, Chelsea looks to continue Europe’s stranglehold in the competition. Interestingly, Chelsea was actually the runner-up the last time a non-European side won the competition. That was in 2o12, when the Blues lost to Corinthians.</p>
<h5>Format</h5>
<p>With Europe and South America clearly representing the toughest continental competitions, these clubs have a slightly easier path.</p>
<p>In total, there are seven teams from six confederations. Each confederation, UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, CAF, AFC and OFC send their ‘Champions League’, or equivalent tournament, champion. The seventh team is the winner of the host country’s domestic league from the season prior.</p>
<p>Remember, this is solely a bracket-style, single-elimination competition.</p>
<p>The first round is that seventh team from the host nation against the representative from OFC. The winner of this fixture then advances to the second round, joined by the teams from CAF, AFC and CONCACAF. Then, the winners from those two games advance to play the teams from UEFA and CONMEBOL in the semi-finals.</p>
<p>This year, the teams are as follows, with the confederation each side represents:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chelsea (UEFA)</li>
<li>Palmeiras (CONMEBOL)</li>
<li>Al Hilal (AFC)</li>
<li>Al Ahly (CAF)</li>
<li>Monterrey (CONCACAF)</li>
<li>AS Pirae (OFC)</li>
<li>Al Jazira (UAE Pro League Winners)</li>
</ul>
<h3>fuboTV and FIFA Club World Cup in Canada</h3>
<p>fuboTV’s deal to broadcast the Club World Cup in Canada represents an increased effort to put soccer in the country.</p>
<p>Earlier in 2022, fuboTV announced the acquisition of the <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2022/01/13/fubotv-premier-league-rights-in-canada/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclusive broadcasting rights</a> to the Premier League in Canada. Of course, Chelsea fans must be rejoicing, now with two competitions to watch the defending UEFA Champions League winners.</p>
<p>Moreover, fuboTV holds the rights to broadcast other soccer properties in Canada. For one, the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers.</p>
<p>However, more related to club soccer, <a href="https:\/\/www.fubo.tv/welcome?irad=366904&amp;irmp=330866" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_new">fuboTV</a> also has Italy’s Serie A and Coppa Italia. Serie A features clubs that have success in the FIFA Club World Cup, such as AC Milan and Inter Milan. Meanwhile, Serie A developed into one of the more competitive leagues in European soccer, despite the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus.</p>
