More international friendlies being considered

Fifa risks war with Europe's clubs over international friendlies


• Fifa could increase number of international dates from 12 to 17
• Europe's leading clubs angry with 'ridiculous' expansion


Fifa faces fresh conflict with Europe's leading clubs over plans to introduce five more international friendly dates into the already crowded football calendar.


The world governing body is understood to have held internal discussions on the insertion of five extra friendly matches into seasons when World Cups and European Championships do not take place. It would raise the total number of international dates from 12 to 17.

It's not as simple as that. Players are pretty much forced to play even when they are not fit by countries. The current club schedule is already draining enough for players without them having to play 5 useless friendlies extra that just destroy them.
