Liverpool look set to feature in FIFA's plans to expand the Club World Cup after the game's governing body's latest proposal received the backing of European clubs.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has long expressed his eagerness to expand the mid-season competition to a 32-team format, which would include 12 of Europe's top-ranked sides.
However, after months of dialogue, the plans have now officially acquired the support of the European Club Association - which is chaired by Paris Saint-German owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sports the interest of teams involved in UEFA competitions.
