FIFA set for a crazy decision on the Club World Cup! | OneFootball

This summer, the first Club World Cup took place and, despite many concerns and criticisms beforehand, it was a success. At least financially, since FIFA, according to The Guardian, would like to speed up the pace by holding the competition every 2 years instead of the 4 currently planned.

When there were complaints about seasons being too busy for players, Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, argued that the main point was that this competition would only take place every 4 years. Which already makes for many busy summers, between the Euro, World Cup, and Copa America. If this change of pace were to be confirmed, it would mean every year for some players.

They are hard to pity, as their job is far from unpleasant and their salaries are outrageous. But there are still some limits that should be respected for health reasons. However, these limits keep shifting for the sake of chasing more money. On the side of both clubs and players. Who always negotiate upwards rather than starting a clear movement for fewer matches.

It is also noted that the Club World Cup could increase to 48 teams instead of 32, to make sure more big clubs are involved, who would push in favor of the change. Let's wait and see, though—nothing has been decided yet for this modification, which would take effect from 2029.
