"According to the World Health Organisation, there have not been any recorded cases of Ebola in Morocco, so there is no reason to discuss a possible change of venue," a Fifa statement said.
The deadly virus has claimed 1 350 lives in four West African countries – Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone – since March.
Spanish and European giants Real Madrid have qualified for the December 10-20 competition with Argentines San Lorenzo, Mexicans Cruz Azal, New Zealanders Auckland City and Moroccans Moghreb Tetouan.
The champions of Africa and Asia will also compete for a trophy won by German club Bayern Munich in Morocco last year.
