FIFA confirm the 2023 Club World Cup will take place in Jeddah, with Man City set to travel to Saudi Arabia to play in the seven-team tournament after winning their first Champions League earlier this month

FIFA has announced that the Club World Cup will be heading to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, later this year.

The Middle East nation was named as the host back in February, but the confirmation over which city would hold the games was delayed until now.

Following an inspection of Jeddah's facilities, FIFA have approved the city for all of the matches.

This means that Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad, who have just added Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante to their ranks, will have home advantage for the tournament which runs from December 12-22.

Manchester City will take part in the Club World Cup for the first time after beating Inter Milan in the Champions League final earlier this month.
