FIFA eyes ‘new’ CWC
Print Edition
FIFA President Gianni Infantino thinks the mostly unloved Club World Cup could expand from seven teams to a 32-team tournament played in June.
Infantino said in interviews published yesterday in Italian and Spanish newspapers that a revamped club competition could start in 2019.
A 32-team event played in the last three weeks of June would be more balanced and more attractive to broadcasters and sponsors, Infantino said in comments reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport and El Mundo Deportivo dailies.
Infantino’s suggestion also follows speculation that China wants to host more international football.
Last year, Chinese retailer Alibaba E-Auto signed as the CWC title sponsor through 2022.
