FIFA has been threatened with legal action by player unions and world leagues - including the Premier League - if it does not move the expanded 2025 Club World Cup.
A letter to FIFA president Gianni Infantino warns that the sport's schedule is now 'beyond saturation'.
It says calendar changes such as adding the new 32-team Club World Cup - currently scheduled to take place in June and July 2025 - have created 'economic harm' to domestic leagues and have pushed players 'beyond their limits'.
It calls on the FIFA Council to reschedule the Club World Cup and to reopen discussions on the international calendar for the period up to 2030.
'Should FIFA refuse to formally commit to resolving the issues, as set out above, at its upcoming council, we shall be compelled to advise our members on the options available to them, both individually and collectively, to proactively safeguard their interests,' the letter states.
