The Women¡¯s Super League sounded the alarm about the timing of the proposed FIFA Women¡¯s Club World Cup, warning of a potential ¡°catastrophic¡± effect on English clubs and player workload.
Officials from England¡¯s top league wrote to FIFA to express deep concern about its plan to stage the inaugural global women¡¯s tournament from Jan. 5 to 30 in 2028, possibly in Qatar and smack in the middle ?of the English domestic schedule.
The event could force the postponement of fixtures across ?five WSL ?match weeks and create a scheduling backlog. Other European leagues, including ?the top leagues in France and Spain, run on similar schedules.
