MLS chief wants 'right decisions' on calendar

The president of Major League Soccer (MLS) Don Garber said he recognises the concern over Fifa's enlarged 32-team Club World Cup to be hosted in the United States in 2025 after La Liga chief Javier Tebas called for the tournament to be scrapped.

The new tournament, with 12 European clubs taking part, from football's world governing body will come after a season featuring an expanded Uefa Champions League and before an extended 48-team World Cup in 2026, hosted in the US, Canada and Mexico.

Top players have criticised the ever-increasing fixture schedule, with some talking of strike action.

European Leagues, players' union Fifpro Europe and La Liga jointly filed a complaint to European Union antitrust regulators this week against Fifa's international match calendar.

Tebas said in Brussels on Oct 15 that the new Club World Cup, which still does not have sponsorship or broadcast deals, should be cancelled.
