FIFA selected China as host of the inaugural edition of the expanded Club World Cup in 2021 but delayed a decision on how the 24 slots for the tournament will be distributed.

A proposal on how many teams would qualify from the six confederations was shared with FIFA Council members for approval at a meeting in Shanghai on Thursday, including Europe having eight participants.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the governing body will make "zero" out of the new event because all the profits will be reinvested back into club football. The Chinese government has been accused of cracking down on human rights and pro-democracy activism. President Xi Jinping's government has also faced criticism over its treatment of Muslims in China's northwest, where the U.S. government, activists and researchers say as many as 1 million people have been detained.

The revamped Club World Cup is due to be staged every four years, replacing the current annual format that features the six champions of continental competitions and the host nation's domestic title winner. The final two editions of the seven-team annual Club World Cup are being staged in Qatar this December and in December 2020.
