South Africa Confirms Interest In Hosting FIFA Club World Cup
[ad_1]
South Africa has joined the countries that are interested in hosting the FIFA club world cup in December after Japan withdrew from the race. In an interview with the press, the South African Football Association president Danny Jordaan said that he will be meeting the FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura in Lagos, Nigeria, on Monday. Danny is expected to get more information on the type of bid South Africa should present to the world body to host the tournament.
The competition will feature continental champions in the five continents, including Chelsea, the European champions. The host country will also get the privilege to participate in the event, which Betway punters are hoping to get the chance to wager on their favorite champions.
Japan withdrew from the race, citing fears of spreading the world’s pandemic after hosting the Summer Olympics and Paralympics tournaments. The alternative host of the seven men’s team tournament was Saudi Arabia, but FIFA is yet to comment on the same. However, the soccer governing body is keenly following the way things are unfolding.
