Today it was reported that Real Madrid is pressuring Gianni Infantino (president of FIFA) to make the Club World Cup take place every 2 years instead of every 4. I think that?s a much better idea, waiting 4 years takes too long and it ends up becoming very tedious. The success of this edition of the tournament was remarkable, and I believe that if more clubs push for this change, FIFA will eventually accept it.

I absolutely disagreed with Madrid's idea. It's because it only makes competition to take place more frequent and has no difference with the previous format.

FIFA tries to level up Club World Cup standard by making it equal to the World Cup. So they change it to take place every 4 years in order to make it more prestigious, and have a plan to make it even more inclusive.

Looking at the angle real madrid is coming from, it's more about the financial gains, the tournament is very rich and anyone that participated in it where actually happy with what they got, so real Madrid sees it as a quick way of making a very huge amount of money if it can be played every two years, but will other top clubs agree to this? Considering the higher numbers of matches and workloads on players?
This is what I can't really guarantee yet because the workload will be too much on the players, so on that note, I think it's best if it remains between four years interval as it is now, because looking for an opportunity to play this tournament was even difficult for fifa considering the current football calendar, so in my own opinion, four years interval is the best.

but in fact the participation of the teams was exclusively for the money, there was a moment where everyone did not want to participate, but then seeing the money they decided, I remember well when everyone went against Juventus because they wanted a league of their own and to participate with other teams, the request was rejected and subsequently FIFA created this tournament
