⚠️ CBF informs Fifa of interest in hosting 2029 Club World Cup
Held in the United States, the 2025 Club World Cup has been a success, at least for Brazilian fans.
Thus, taking advantage of the tournament's "hype", the CBF informed Fifa about its interest in hosting the 2029 World Cup.

"It all started with an introductory conversation. I spoke about my goals at the helm of CBF and said that we want to be closer to Fifa. I praised the event and the level of Brazilian clubs and, finally, offered the country to host the next World Cup. He was very happy, said it is totally possible. Now we are going to work to make it happen. It will be a great goal," said Samir Xaud, president of CBF, in an interview with O Globo newspaper.
The meeting between Samir Xaud and Gianni Infantino and Mattias Grafström, president and secretary-general of Fifa, respectively, took place at the Fifa Football Executive Summit in Miami, with representatives from the 211 member associations of the entity.
On social media, Infantino has been posting images of Brazilian fans' parties watching the games on the beaches of Brazil and in US cities.

What could "play against" this Brazilian "pre-candidacy" to host the 2029 Club World Cup is that, initially but not necessarily, the tournament would take place every four years as a replacement for the Confederations Cup, which was held a year before the World Cup as a "test event" for the country.
In 2030, the World Cup will be held in Portugal, Spain and Morocco, but with some games taking place in Argentina and Uruguay as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the first edition of the tournament.

Bayern Munich Beat Boca Juniors To Advance At The FIFA Club World Cup

Bayern secured the win thanks to goals by Harry Kane (18') and Michael Olise (84'). Miguel Merentiel (66') had the majority of the crowd, who supported Boca going when he scored the equalizer. Indeed, it felt like a home game for Boca, who had come out in significant numbers to support the Xeneize. Riled up by the crowd, Boca tried to grind down Bayern with the same physical play they used against Benfica. But Bayern responded in kind as Boca led with 18 to 13 fouls at the end of the match. "We saw how tough it's been for European teams playing against South American teams,' Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany said at the end of the game. 'I thought we did really well tonight. We managed our emotions. The way we finished the game was very mature. It was a solid performance. It's the Club World Cup; every win is difficult.' While Bayern matched Boca's physical play, they also dominated possession of the ball. The Munich giants would finish the game with 73% possession. They also kept entangling Boca in one-on-one situations, finishing the match with 28 to 9 dribbles. They also had the better chance,s ending the game with an xG of 2.36 to 0.72. Ultimately, they could have made tonight much easier for themselves. It was one moment of gullible play that led to Merentiel's equalizer. Olise lost the ball in the final third, and then Jonathan Tah and Josip Stanisic were overrun as Merentiel was very much gifted a goal.

'I have to organize it better, then it wouldn't happen.' The goal briefly derailed Bayern's path to the round of 16. But then Olise, as it often has been the case this season, rescued Bayern with a brilliant goal from inside the box. The goal was even more important because it came moments after superstar Jamal Musiala was brought off with an injury. 'Big performance from the boys tonight,' Bayern striker Kane said. 'We knew it would be a hostile atmosphere. I thought we should've been 3-0 or 4-0 up in the first half. I'm happy to have helped the team with the goal. This is a massive tournament. I've always said it's us against us; that's our mindset. We want to compete at the highest level. So far, so good. We need to carry on.' With the three points secured, Bayern has now secured their passage to the round of 16 ahead of their clash against Benfica. In theory, this is a good opportunity to rotate the squad. 'I don't like the word rotation,' Kompany said. 'The priority is to win the group.' That doesn't mean there won't be some changes. 'We'll see how the players are feeling physically,' Kompany said. 'We have such good players that any team we put out on the pitch will be a good team.'

Bayern Munich advances in the Club World Cup with 2-1 win over Boca Juniors
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Michael Olise fired Bayern Munich into the knockout stages of the Club World Cup, scoring in the 84th minute for a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors on Friday night. German champion Bayern made it two wins in Group C and advanced to the round of 16 with a game to spare. Olise secured the victory at Hard Rock Stadium after Miguel Merentiel had put Boca in position for a draw with a brilliant solo goal in the 66th. Bayern, which tops the group, took the lead on Harry Kane's clinical finish in the 18th and went on to miss of a slew of chances before Merentiel's equalizer. South American teams had been unbeaten in their first nine games of this expanded Club World Cup. Bayern looked like it would be held until Olise's cool finish. Collecting Kane's layoff inside the box, the forward curled a powerful first-time effort low into the bottom corner. Bayern has the luxury of resting players for its final group game against second-place Benfica on Tuesday, which could be bad news for Boca. Argentine giant Boca, which plays Auckland City, needs Bayern to beat Benfica to have any chance of advancing to the next round. 'We knew it wasn't going to be easy, we knew we were coming into a hostile environment, hot weather, it was tough. It's a massive tournament. We are playing against the best teams in the world. We just have to compete to our highest level and we should be able to beat most teams.' — Kane. 'We have to find a way (to advance). A draw would've been great but it's up to us to compete and do our best and I would not be surprised if that happened.' — Boca Juniors coach Miguel Angel Russo. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:
