The head of the Premier League says soccer will reach saturation point if more matches are added to the calendar. England’s top league is part of a legal challenge against FIFA alongside other domestic competitions in Europe and player unions.

LONDON — Soccer will reach saturation point if more matches are added to the calendar, the head of the Premier League said Wednesday.

Richard Masters, the Premier League’s chief executive, believes too much soccer risks turning people off. “Obviously, we have lots of football. The Premier League is part of it. It’s part of the picture, our clubs participate in multiple competitions, and we’re adding to that calendar, so it should be a concern. I think that we will reach a point of saturation, yes.”

Masters insisted the legal move was not solely about the Club World Cup itself, more about the impact its scheduling could have on existing competitions.
