Don Garber sympathetic over fixture overloadCommissioner still backs Club World Cup inclusion
The Commissioner of Major League Soccer, Don Garber, has joined voices calling for greater accountability within football, saying Fifa must “think about our sport strategically” as the discord over an expanding football calendar continued.
Garber said he was “excited” at the prospect of Fifa’s new Club World Cup competition, which is due to take place in the US next summer, but at the same time sympathised with those speaking out against fixture overload, with the players’ union Fifpro this week launching a legal challenge against the governing body over a lack of consultation on its expansion plans.
