    The FIFA Council, made up of representatives from all the continental confederations, unanimously selected the Middle East state as hosts for the seven-team event, which is scheduled to run from December 12 to 22.

    The country has also been reported to be bidding to co-host the 2030 men's World Cup with Egypt and Greece.

    They are set to go up against rival confirmed bids from Spain, Portugal and Ukraine and one from four South American nations. The Council confirmed the FIFA Congress would make a decision on who would host those finals in the third quarter of next year.
