The Guardian will expand its army in one session🚨Exclusive: FIFA is preparing to discuss the expansion of the next Club World Cup to the 48th Team

According to the exclusive report of the Guardian, if this Club World Cup is successful, FIFA is preparing to discuss expanding the next Club World Cup (2029) to 48 teams. This proposal stems from the joint lobbying of many teams who have not been shortlisted for this New Club World Cup.

Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and AC Milan have a huge fan base, and none of them are qualified for the competition unless FIFA cancels the limit for 12 European teams, expansion will be the only way to ensure more European clubs are involved. Another potential reform that Premier League clubs are pushing is to relax the restrictions on "the maximum of two teams in a single country". It is this regulation that has led to Liverpool's missed the Club World Cup although meeting the promotion standards.

FIFA has exempted the provision for teams that won the Intercontinental Championship at the same time, which has allowed Brazil to send four teams to participate with the four consecutive Libertadores Championships.

After defeating Mexico America in the Los Angeles FC play-off, three teams in the United States also participated.
