Real Madrid won the 2018 edition of the Fifa Club World CupFifa has indicated it would be willing to make wholesale changes to its controversial plans for a 24-team Club World Cup. The changes, including the frequency it is held, have been outlined in a tender issued to potential investors, commercial partners and media. China is set to host the first edition of the larger tournament, with Gianni Infantino, the president of football's world governing body Fifa, describing it as "the first real and true [Club] World Cup". In their tender, which has been seen by the BBC, Fifa say its objective is to find partners to create "the world's greatest club football experience". The words will alarm European football's governing body Uefa, who fear the Champions League will be undermined by any significant competition to their dominant club competition, triggering a reduction in broadcasting revenue.
