FIFA has announced that Qatar will host the concluding rounds of the 2026 Intercontinental Cup, formerly recognized as the Club World Cup. The Middle Eastern nation will also have the honor of hosting the previous two Intercontinental Cups. This year, the tournament will see three matches taking place from December 9 to 16. The specific stadiums have yet to be revealed by FIFA.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) from France has earned a spot in the final stages after clinching victory in the UEFA Champions League. This year’s Intercontinental Cup kicked off in August, with Brazilian teams Flamengo and Palmeiras, as well as Argentina’s Estudiantes, potentially advancing to the final. All three teams are still engaged in the Copa Libertadores, and the champion of that competition will be determined in Qatar.
Palmeiras secured their place in the Libertadores final on Wednesday evening (21), defeating Fluminense on penalties. The remaining place will be decided on Thursday night, when Flamengo face Estudiantes.
