Historic Football Moment? Qatar Could Host the First-Ever FIFA Women’s Club World Cup in 2028

Historic Football Moment? Qatar Could Host the First-Ever FIFA Women’s Club World Cup in 2028

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.

The Fifa Intercontinental Cup was held in Al-Rayyan last month, with Paris Saint-Germain beating Flamengo in the final, and the second edition of the men’s Finalissima between the European champions, Spain, and the South American champions, Argentina, will take place in Doha in March.

As the Guardian revealed last year, Qatar expressed interest in staging the men’s Club World Cup in 2029. Fifa has decided the tournament will take place in the northern hemisphere summer, so that has been shelved, and Morocco and Spain are regarded as the most likely hosts as a dry run for the 2030 World Cup.

Taking the first Women’s Club World Cup to Qatar would cause controversy given the country’s stance on LGBTQ+ rights and the fact that it has little history of women’s football. A women’s national team was formed in 2009 when Qatar was preparing to bid for the 2022 World Cup, but after an initial burst of fixtures they have not played an official match for 12 years and do not have a Fifa ranking.

Qatar has the advantages not only of close relations with Fifa but of ready-made stadiums and a warm winter climate. Given the dates, staging the event somewhere in the Gulf appears inevitable.

Saudi Arabia is another possible option but it is committed to hosting the four-team Spanish Super Cup in January 2028. Fifa sources said it has yet to receive formal bids and declined to discuss the nature of any bidding process.

The timing highlights the growing issue of fixture congestion in the women’s game. There will be no clash with the Champions League but many domestic European leagues will be affected and may have to introduce a longer winter break. The Australian, Mexican and Japanese leagues are among other established domestic competitions likely to be affected.

The first Women’s Club World Cup will feature 16 teams, including at least five from Europe and two each from Asia, Africa, South America and North America. A club from each of those five confederations and one from Oceania will play in a qualifying tournament to determine the final three entrants.

Fifa has yet to determine its entry criteria but Arsenal, as Champions League winners last season, expect to be involved. The competition is due to take place every four years.

Qatar Starts Major School Vaccination Campaign for Grade 9 & 10 Students Across 278 Schools

Qatar Starts Major School Vaccination Campaign for Grade 9 & 10 Students Across 278 Schools

​​The Ministry of Public Health has launched the annual campaign to vaccinate ninth and tenth-grade students against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) in 2026, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Hamad Medical Corporation, and the Primary Health Care Corporation.

The campaign aims to vaccinate 51,772 students across 278 public, private, and community schools. 

The Ministry of Public Health and its partners have commenced the campaign activities in schools, with notifications distributed to parents to obtain their consent for vaccinating their children.

Dr. Hamad Eid Al-Romaihi, Director of the Health Protection and Communicable Disease Control Department at the Ministry of Public Health, affirmed that the vaccination campaign against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis has achieved significant progress since its launch in 2011. He noted that over the past fifteen years, the National Vaccination Program has succeeded in attaining high and sustainable coverage rates, thanks to the efforts of healthcare professionals, the support of partners, and the cooperation of the community.

He explained that the vaccination campaign falls within the framework of the National Health Strategy (2024–2030), which prioritizes the improvement of population health and well-being, with a focus on health outcomes for individuals and the community. The campaign also includes an awareness program targeting students and parents to correct misconceptions and promote a culture of prevention.

The Ministry of Public Health calls on parents to encourage their children to benefit from the vaccination campaign, given its significant role in strengthening their health and protecting them against serious communicable diseases. It is noted that this booster dose forms part of the essential routine immunizations for adolescents within the national vaccination schedule approved in the State of Qatar.

It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Public Health organized an awareness workshop last Saturday, with the participation of around 240 medical and nursing professionals. The workshop aimed to raise school staff’s awareness of the importance of vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in preventing these diseases.

The workshop featured scientific lectures on the latest developments related to vaccine administration, along with practical training on managing minor side effects such as fever or localized redness. Guidance was also provided to parents to ensure safe handling of these symptoms at home. In addition, administrative arrangements were reviewed to ensure the campaign’s success and the achievement of its objectives.
