With less than two years to go before the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ takes place, two tournament venues will be given a global showcase when Ahmad Bin Ali and Education City stage the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020™.
The club champions from five of football’s six continental confederations, along with Qatar Stars League holders Al Duhail SC, will contest seven matches to determine the best club side in the world. The tournament will take place from 4-11 February – two months later than planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Auckland City, who were nominated to represent the Oceania region at Qatar 2020, withdrew from the competition because of COVID-19 quarantine measures required by authorities in New Zealand. The tournament will provide a fresh opportunity for Qatar to test the readiness of these two venues, in particular Ahmad Bin Ali, which was inaugurated on 18 December when it hosted the 48th Amir Cup final between Al Sadd SC and Al Arabi SC.
