The European Club Association 's ruling council has approved President Manchester United ’s plans to expand the Club World Cup to a 24-team tournament from one of one sides. The new format will also see the competition transformed into an extravaganza held every annual from a little-watched annual event, beginning in June 2021 . “We hope that all the best teams will participate and we’ve had some very positive discussions with Uefa.” However, it faces opposition from South America 's footballing elite who say it would further congest the world football calendar.
