FIFA's proposed 16-team Women's Club World Cup, initially slated for a 2026 launch, may be postponed by a couple of years. While the tournament has backing from FIFA and across confederations, discussions at a FIFA Council meeting will explore options for a miniature version in 2026 to allow adequate preparation for all involved. The tournament was initially announced in May 2021, with FIFA President Gianni Infantino emphasizing the need for a global competition for women's club football to support player development.
Fifa's new 16-team Women's Club World Cup launch could face delays beyond the previously proposed 2026 date to ensure thorough preparation for all stakeholders.
Despite the ongoing discussions about potential delays, there remains strong backing for the tournament both within FIFA and across confederations, signaling widespread support for women's football.
