Fifa considers raising club limit per country at Club World Cup | OneFootball

Fifa is considering increasing the number of clubs per country in the Club World Cup. Starting from 2029, up to three teams could participate in the competition, instead of the two currently allowed. This information comes from the English newspaper The Times.

Some officials of the organization were upset by the fact that Liverpool, Barcelona, and Napoli, national champions, were left out of this year's July edition, held in the United States. Therefore, the proposal for expansion is to prevent this scenario from happening again.

Opposing Position

Despite the support of the European Club Association (ECA) for the tournament to increase from 32 to 48 participants, UEFA is expected to oppose the idea. The European Union also resists the possibility of the Club World Cup being held every two years.

For now, Fifa already has the international calendar set until 2030, postponing any further debate on the biennial holding of the tournament.
