Infantino, speaking ahead of Sunday’s World Cup final between Argentina and France (10 am ET | FOX, Telemundo), said there are plans for an expanded 32-team men’s Club World Cup starting in 2025. The competition would be held every four years.
That’d introduce 25 new clubs to the competition and make it “like a World Cup,” according to Infantino. Competition details and location are yet to be decided.
FIFA originally planned on staging a 24-team Club World Cup in 2021, though that was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The sport’s governing body also plans to introduce a FIFA World Series, expanding chances for top clubs from different confederations to more regularly play each other. Infantino said it would occur in even years.
