FIFA World Cup European qualifiers are ongoing in Europe and the club football will resume next week in England. Before matchday 4, Premier League teams Manchester United and Chelsea got few concerns ahead of the fixtures.
According to the latest updates from England, Chelsea’s concern is about the scheduled FIFA Club World Cup. The European champions are targeting another trophy from the season and that is facing a kind of uncertainty now.
The FIFA Club World Cup is scheduled to take place in the month of December in Japan. But Covid-19 situation in Japan is the major concern for FIFA and the tournament will be shifted to another destination according to the latest updates.
Japan is struggling to fight the pandemic and the slow vaccination roll-out is making the situation worse. Meanwhile, the resignation of the Prime Minister will make Japanese politics unstable for the coming months. Also, the new leadership is unlikely to allow sporting events that attract more outsiders to the country.
The Club World Cup is expected to take Qatar as host for the third consecutive year. Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich lifted the trophy in February after the successful run in Europe.
The current uncertainty with Japan is after the Events of the Olympics and the Paralympics. Both events denied the spectators at the venues and another major event in the month of December will send the country to another complex situation. Meanwhile, FIFA wants the fans to attend their flagship event.
