FIFA World Series is born: This is what the national team calendar will look like after 2025

 Starting in 2025, international match schedules will include an extended window with four matches, falling between late September and early October, to replace the current two separate windows in September and October, with the other windows (November, March and June) unchanged.

To increase the chances of teams from different confederations playing each other, FIFA will launch a friendly tournament called 'FIFA World Series' to be held in the March window in even-numbered years.

The decision on the host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup will also be made in 2024, with the bidding rules to be published early next year.



Changes continue to take place at FIFA. Following the announcement of the new format for the Club World Cup and the new format for the next edition of the World Cup, changes continue to be made to the calendar. The new changes are aimed at the national teams.
