FIFA Women's World Cup China
The FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 will be held in China from September 10-30 2007. Originally, China was to host the 2003 Women's World Cup, but the outbreak of SARS in that country forced that event to be moved to the United States. FIFA immediately granted the 2007 event to China, which means that no new host nation will be chosen competitively until voting is held for the 2011 Women's World Cup.
FIFA U-20 World Cup CanadaThe FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007, the 16th such tournament, will be hosted by the cities of Toronto, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Victoria, and Burnaby (Vancouver) and is scheduled to run from June 30, 2007 to July 22, 2007. It will be the largest single-sport event ever hosted by Canada. The tournament will take place in a variety of stadia across the country with the showcase being Toronto's new BMO Field where the final match will be held.
The tournament will feature 24 teams. Canada has qualified automatically as hosts. Qualifying for other confederations is still ongoing and should be completely finished by February 2007.
FIFA U-17 World Cup KoreaThe FIFA U-17 World Cup 2007 will be held in South Korea. For this edition, the number of teams has been expanded from 16 to 24. Also, from now on the confederation which produced the last champion will have an extra spot in qualifying. For 2007, that will be CONCACAF.
Players born after 1 January 1990 can participate in this tournament.
FIFA Club World Cup JapanThe FIFA Club World Cup (formerly the FIFA Club World Championship) is a football competition contested between the leading clubs from all 6 continental confederations.
The first competition took place in Brazil in January 2000. It was intended by FIFA to be a replacement for the Intercontinental Cup (also known as the Toyota Cup), which was contested annually in Tokyo, Japan by the champions of Europe and South America.
The new tournament was not universally popular, but nevertheless a second edition was penciled in for Spain in 2001, to feature 12 teams. This was cancelled owing to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner ISL. It was then intended to hold the event in 2003, but this also failed to happen. FIFA eventually agreed terms with the Toyota Cup to merge the two competitions, with the first installment of the relaunched Club World Championship held in Japan between December 11 and December 18, 2005.
