Fifa Weighs Up Biennial Club World Cup
The Guardian
|August 18, 2025
Fifa will consider holding the Club World Cup every two years from 2029 in a move that would put more pressure on the international calendar and trigger another backlash from the Premier League and Uefa.
The next Club World Cup is due to take place in four years' time, following the first expanded 32-team tournament held in the US this summer, but the world governing body is under pressure from leading clubs to make it a biennial event.
Real Madrid are understood to have raised the issue of moving to a two-year cycle during talks with Fifa in Miami in June, a proposal that has gained support from other clubs who failed to qualify for this year's tournament, including Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool and Napoli.
Chelsea received £85m in prize money for winning the competition and other big European clubs want the opportunity to take advantage of Fifa's huge revenue streams, which are being funded largely by Saudi Arabia's Surj Sports Investments.
