Morocco is set to become the first African country to host the Club World Cup after FIFA confirmed it will stage the 2013 and 2014 editions of the tournament.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed the adoption of a centralised model for its marketing and broadcast rights to the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Iran has tabled an unlikely bid to host the FIFA Club World Cup in 2013 and 2014, world football’s governing body has announced.

The African continent has been encouraged by the recent FIFA World Cup in South Africa to consider a bid for the IAAF World Championships in 2017, the president of the African Athletics Confederation revealed.

The European PGA Tour has added two African tournaments to its 2010 schedule, but dropped two Asian and one Australian event from this year.
