FIFA intends to increase the Club World Cup from 32 to 48 teams for its 2029 edition, following the perceived success of the 2025 tournament in the United States. The governing body is also considering making the event biennial and exploring various hosting options, amid opposition from UEFA over fixture congestion. Prize money distribution from the previous edition remains unresolved, with €212 million in solidarity payments still pending.
Real Madrid has claimed the top spot in Deloitte's Football Money League for the 2024-25 season with revenues of £975 million, ahead of Barcelona. For the first time in the report's 29-year history, no English club ranks in the top four, with Liverpool placing fifth. The rankings highlight the growing dominance of commercial income across Europe's elite clubs.
