FIFA have confirmed plans for an expanded Club World Cup, starting from 2025.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced the news with 32 teams to compete in the first event. Manchester United and Manchester City are potentially set to be involved although no club has been rubber-stamped to feature yet.
The move was announced at a FIFA press conference. It has been established to create competition for the UEFA Champions League which is, generally, viewed as the premier competition in the club game. However, that annual showcase only includes teams from Europe as other continents have their own comparative tournaments.
