The already-packed football calendar will have to accommodate a new competition after FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed the inaugural 32-team Club World Cup will take place in 2025.
The already packed football calendar will have to accomodate a new competition that was initially due to take place in 2021 in China, but was abandoned due to the Covid pandemic.
Infantino failed to elaborate on which teams would be involved but insisted FIFA was ready to capitalise on the ever increasing popularity of the sport, highlighted by, in his words, the most successful World Cup ever in‘When it comes to the council meeting, we could confirm revenues of this four-year cycle – 7.5 billion,’ said Infantino.
‘Looking forward, the FIFA Council approved the budget for the next four year cycle, which will be eleven billion and almost 10 billion will go directly back to football. ‘We discussed some strategic principles. For the men, we agreed to have a new men’s Club World Cup, this will happen in 2025 and will have 32 teams, making it like this World Cup.’
