FIFA wants to push its new prestige object, the Club World Cup, with all its might. The transfer market is now being revolutionized, which also affects FC Bayern.

Revolution on the transfer market! As the FIFA announced on Thursdaythere will in future be an opportunity for associations whose clubs take part in the newly introduced Club World Cup to open an additional transfer window from June 1st to June 10th in which players can transfer.

The background is that the Club World Cup starts on June 15th, two weeks before the official transfer period on July 1st. begins. Prominent newcomers could therefore not be registered in time for FIFA’s new prestigious tournament with 36 teams (including FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund), which would reduce its attractiveness. The respective regional associations, in Germany the DFB, can decide for themselves whether they allow this change window.

“The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will usher in a new era in club football worldwide by crowning the best teams as the official FIFA Club World Champions,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “These regulations ensure that all 32 participating clubs have the best possible conditions and that the best players in the world can shine on the biggest stage.”

Squad curiosities possible at the Club World Cup

Regardless of the new transfer window, there could be squad oddities at the tournament in the USA. During the tournament there will be a window from June 27 to July 3 during which, according to FIFA, players whose contracts are expiring can be replaced “subject to certain restrictions.”

The background is the professional contracts, which generally expire on June 30th. This would allow players to appear for different participants during the Club World Cup. “However, the aim is to encourage clubs and players whose contracts are expiring to find an appropriate solution to facilitate players’ participation,” FIFA said after the Council meeting on Thursday.
