FIFA faces potential legal action from FIFPRO and World Leagues Association over the expanded Club World Cup, due to player welfare and rights concerns.

FIFA faces potential legal action from players' union FIFPRO and World Leagues Association over the expanded Club World Cup in the US. They demand a rescheduled tournament and reform of the international match calendar due to concerns about player welfare and rights, as the congested schedule increases mental fatigue and injury risks. The 32-team event is set for June 15 to July 13 next year, during most top leagues' offseason and between the World Cup and European Championship.
