Supporter concerns over Women’s Club World Cup

Supporters’ groups from across the women’s game have written to the FA and Women’s Super League to outline their concerns over FIFA’s proposed Women’s Club World Cup (WCWC).

Earlier this year FIFA announced their intention to launch a 16-team WCWC in 2028 – this is in addition to the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup which starts in 2026.

Supporters on the FSA Women’s Game Network raised concerns about the impact on the domestic game and the enormous additional pressures that a WCWC would bring upon players and supporters.

“The increased burden on supporters should also be considered… a third major international tournament in the space of 12 months is a huge ask for travelling fans.”

FIFA have not consulted supporters and the letter urges them to speak to Football Supporters Europe (FSE), to whom the FSA affiliates.
