A Fifa confirmou nesta quinta-feira (22/10) onde será disputada a Copa Intercontinental de Clubes de 2026: o Catar. É a mesma escolha feita para a edição de 2025, quando Flamengo e PSG chegaram à decisão do título.
A competição reúne os campeões continentais da temporada e aponta o campeão intercontinental. No modelo adotado desde 2024, o vencedor da Champions League entra direto na final, e os outros clubes, entre eles o campeão da Libertadores, passam pelas fases anteriores. A decisão será em 16 de dezembro.
O Palmeiras já está na final da Libertadores e espera o ganhador do confronto entre Flamengo e Estudiantes. A final continental está marcada para 28 de novembro, em Montevidéu (Uruguai).
Quem defende o título é o Paris Saint-Germain, campeão sobre o Flamengo na disputa por pênaltis. A partida terminou 1 a 1 no tempo normal, com gol de Kvaratskhelia para os franceses e empate brasileiro assinalado por Jorginho, também de pênalti.
A edição começou em agosto, com vitória do Al-Ahli, da Arábia Saudita, sobre o Auckland City, da Nova Zelândia. Depois, os sauditas caíram diante do Mamelodi Sundowns, da África do Sul, que assim assegurou presença na final da Challenger Cup. O time sul-africano espera agora quem sair do Derby das Américas, com o Toluca, do México, de um lado, e o campeão da Libertadores deste ano do outro, a ser definido entre Flamengo, Palmeiras e Estudiantes.
O calendário segue com o Derby das Américas em 9 de dezembro, a Challenger Cup no dia 12 e a final em 16 de dezembro.
