FIFA-UEFA rift could rule European clubs out of next Club World Cup | OneFootball

UEFA is set to meet shortly to assess the current situation regarding the FIFA presidency. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Aleksander Čeferin will meet in Salzburg with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG president and an influential figure in European football, to discuss several important matters.

Among the topics on the table will be the participation of European clubs in the 2029 Club World Cup. The proposal is to block these teams from taking part in the next edition of the competition if Gianni Infantino remains in charge of FIFA. In 2025, Benfica and FC Porto were the Portuguese representatives in the tournament.

The two officials also intend to put an end to the model centered on a FIFA president, advocating instead for the creation of a working structure responsible for coordinating the entire organization, although that team would still be led by a central figure.
