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 really think that make this competition every 2 years would be too much: the majority of players from the big club would play non-stop because every single year there would be an international competition: Euro cup - Club World Cup - World Cup - Club World Cup, without forgetting the Copa America and the African Cup. The situation is really getting out of hand.
But I am not sure yet whether the Club World Cup will be held every season or this tournament will be organized with a gap of one year in between. If this tournament is organized with a gap of one year then this tournament will have more attraction but if it is organized every season then clubs and players will not have much attraction towards this tournament. FIFA may have taken the decision of Club World Cup very quickly this season but in the next tournament this Club World Cup will definitely be more attractive and we will see many more new teams participating in this competition, that is our expectation now. Chelsea will remain the defending champion until another tournament starts. The first tournament of Club World Cup was organized in America, where can FIFA organize the next tournament?
I am not sure about this but if the World Cup is held every four years like the one held every four years, it will be more attractive. This season Club World Cup was contested by 32 teams. If this number is increased gradually it will be more positive for football fans. Comparatively small clubs will be able to participate in the competition. The way FIFA planned this season, the duration of the tournament was very short, in the future its scope should be increased. I think the number of teams should be increased and it should be held for a longer period to make the Club World Cup more attractive. I think FIFA has not yet announced the host country for the next Club World Cup.
