FIFA, the European Football Clubs group and leading Premier League clubs.
Ahead of planning for the 2029 Club World Cup.
FIFA has agreed a joint venture with the European Football Clubs group that could lead to a 48-team Club World Cup in 2029. The plan may open more places for Premier League clubs and other major European sides.
European clubs want country caps eased after several champions missed the 32-team edition, while FIFA seeks stronger commercial value. The move follows prize-money success for Chelsea, although unresolved solidarity payments from the previous tournament remain a sticking point.
