Gianni Infantino, president of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), has returned to the FIFA agenda as members plan to discuss the proposals on Friday.
The FIFA board is meeting in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, where Infanteño plans to set up a mini-world cup and plans to increase the size of the Club World Cup on other topics according to the agenda of the meeting.
FIFA did not say whether the council would vote on the plans or not, according to "Reuters".
According to the proposal, the mini-World Cup includes eight teams and will be held every two years, in addition to the traditional World Cup, the tournament known as the "best 8," and will be the culmination of a world championship for nations.
In the May speech, Infantino proposed the new tournament in October or November in odd years, starting in 2021, with the cancellation of the Confederations Cup, which is now held every 4 years in the year preceding the World Cup.
The number of FIFA Club World Cups, which are held annually with seven teams, will increase to 24 teams and will be held once every 4 years according to Infantino's proposals.
He wrote to FIFA members last May to explain his plans, which he said were backed by a "solid and serious" group of investors who wanted to spend $ 25 billion over a 12-year period beginning in 2021 for the World Cup.
But the plans have met fierce opposition from clubs and leagues in Europe. UEFA president Alexander Chivrin said the plans were "flawed and commercialized", with FIFA selling "the spirit of the game."
The proposals were not on the agenda of the FIFA annual conference held in Moscow last June, with plans for Infantino to lead to huge changes in the international schedule.
