The newspaper added that Brazil was the second country to express interest in hosting the tournament, having announced through official channels its intention to bid, especially in light of the amendments introduced by FIFA to the tournament's regulations.
Recently, Morocco entered the fray unilaterally, expressing its desire to host the 2029 Club World Cup.
The source indicated that Moroccan authorities have already begun exploring the necessary steps and how to submit a comprehensive bid within the specified deadlines.

Morocco is expected to host several major football tournaments, including the Africa Cup of Nations in late 2025 and the 2030 World Cup, co-hosted by Spain and Portugal.
