MIAMI: FIFA will go ahead with a new 24-team Club World Cup starting in 2021, the ruling body's President Gianni Infantino said on Friday, setting the global body in conflict with Europe's top clubs.
Following Infantino's announcement, a spokesperson for the ECA said:"ECA clubs will not participate in 2021 CWC and will assess participation in editions of the competition post-2024." Multiple sources told Reuters that representatives of UEFA, European football's governing body, had voted against the plan.
