The proposal has been made aiming at increasing revenue streams.<\/p><p>As per reports from ESPN and The Guardian, it was discussed informally during the 2025 tournament in the United States. The idea surfaced as Madrid and other clubs assessed the financial rewards of the new format. Chelsea, champions of the 2025 edition, reportedly generated $114.6 million in revenue.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BREAKING?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#BREAKING<\/a>: Real Madrid and other clubs want the Club World Cup to be held every two years.<br><br>FIFA sees it as unfeasible at the moment.

Needless to say, their earnings have been huge. FIFA distributed $1 billion among participating clubs. That&rsquo;s why, stakeholders believe that a biennial schedule could double their earnings.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FIFA Deems Biennial Format &lsquo;Unfeasible&rsquo;<\/h2><p>Despite these ambitions, FIFA remain firm on maintaining the tournament&rsquo;s four-year cycle. Sources close to the governing body told ESPN that holding the Club World Cup every two years is &ldquo;unfeasible&rdquo; due to financial and logistical constraints.

FIFA fear a clash with UEFA competitions. Especially tensions were already high after UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin snubbed the Club World Cup final. La Liga president Javier Tebas also criticized the expanded format, calling it &ldquo;disruptive and commercially shortsighted.&rdquo;<\/p><p>FIFA are now only focused on the 2029 edition. It could see the tournament expanded to 48 teams. Qatar has emerged as a potential host after successfully staging the 2022 World Cup. However, scheduling challenges remain, as the tournament would likely need to be played in December to avoid the region&rsquo;s intense summer heat.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/alvaro-morata-set-for-serie-a-return-with-surprise-move-to-como\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Alvaro Morata Set for Serie A Return With Surprise Move to Como<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Madrid Push but FIFA Stay Cautious<\/h2><p>Real Madrid&rsquo;s stance is unsurprising given their involvement in previous efforts to reshape club football. This includes the proposal for the European Super League. Former Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti previously voiced skepticism about FIFA&rsquo;s financial offerings, stating:<\/p><p><strong><em>&ldquo;One single Real Madrid game is worth &euro;20 million, and FIFA want to give us that amount for the entire competition.
