The first edition of the Women’s Club World Cup has been scheduled to start between January and February 2026, with the 16-team tournament to be held every four years, the world football governing body, FIFA said on Wednesday.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino had in May 2021 revealed the plans to introduce the Women’s Club World Cup as part of a plan to “revolutionise” the female game.

FIFA, whose council met in advance of the 74th FIFA Congress in Bangkok, did not however provide any further details.

The Women’s Club World Cup would likely allow top European teams from the UEFA Women’s Champions League to face clubs from the United States’ National Women’s Soccer League, as well as sides from countries where the game is less developed.

ESPN reports that the world soccer governing body also approved a new calendar with a focus on providing more opportunities for rest and recovery for players and coaches.

“The Women’s International Match Calendar and the subsequent amendments to our regulations represent an important milestone in our pledge to take the women’s game to the next level by enhancing competitiveness across the world,” Infantino said.

The FIFA Council also formally appointed Mattias Grafstrom as the FIFA Secretary General, having been nominated on an interim basis in October last year.

“Football is my passion since I was born. I started playing it as a child and worked in football all my life at all different levels. There are therefore no words to express my feelings as I accept with pride and with a great sense of responsibility, the biggest challenge of my professional life,” Grafstrom said.
