New Club World Cup to debut in 2025! FIFA announcement
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has announced the introduction of a 32-team Club World Cup in 2025.
The Club World Cup, which currently has just seven teams, will have 32 teams in 2025. And FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the tournament would be held once every four years.
Also, he said, it will increase revenue for the World Sports Organization.
Currently, the leading teams from the continental competitions and the national champion of the hosts compete for the Club World Cup title.
But Infantino plans to host the Club World Cup in place of the FIFA Confederations Cup, the international club football competition for men’s national teams.
FIFA expects revenue of $11 billion over the four-year period 2022-2026.
Infantino believes that the idea of adding 32 teams to the Club World Cup is really helpful and bigger than expected.
