Champions Cup to involve six clubs from across the worldClub World Cup was due in 2026 but will start in 2028
A new six-team Women’s Champions Cup is to be established next year, featuring clubs from across the world. The competition was approved at a Fifa Council meeting on Wednesday that also confirmed a two-year delay to the first Women’s Club World Cup.
The 16-team Women’s Club World Cup was due to launch in 2026 but, as first reported by the Guardian, has been put on hold. It is understood Fifa believes the delay will ensure it has time to create space in the calendar for the additional fixtures. The competition will be played every four years from 2028. In the meantime the Women’s Champions Cup will get under way, to be played annually other than in Women’s Club World Cup years. The champions of each confederation’s club tournament will take part.
