FIFA President Gianni Infantino said: “At moments it has been difficult to arrive at this moment, but we have. I want to thank all of you that have made it possible. In particular, I want to thank our friends in the United Arab Emirates for stepping in when football needed them to host the Fifa Club World Cup 2021.
“We all have such fond memories of when the UAE last hosted the Fifa Club World Cup 2017 and 2018. And once again, the United Arab Emirates will take centre stage early next year. Thank you.”
