Infantino wants the Club World Cup increased to 32 teams and played in the European off-season in June / July.

No details yet but it could mean more teams from Oceania I guess.

Maybe it will consist of something like: the quarter-finalists from the UEFA Champions League, the quarter-finalists from the Copa Libertadores, the semi-finalists from the African Champions League,  semi-finalists from the CONCACAF Champions Cup, the semi-finalists from the Asian Champions League and the semi-finalists from the OFC Champions League.

As it is, the tournament only has a following in South America and Spain and Infantino wants to broaden its appeal in Europe, Africa, CONCACAF and Asia.

December is not a good time to hold it for European clubs and June / July would be better.
