Qatar has no Fifa women’s ranking after lack of games
January tournament will disrupt domestic seasons
Qatar is in talks with Fifa about staging the inaugural Women’s Club World Cup, which is in line to cause major disruption to domestic seasons in 2027-28, including in Europe.
Fifa announced last month that its latest new club competition would take place from 5 to 30 January 2028, but the governing body has not said where it will be held or whether it will run a formal bidding process.
Qatar’s expression of interest is the most recent in a long line of tournament bids after it won the right to host the men’s 2022 World Cup finals, since when it has maintained close relations with Fifa.
