The football world looks banned at the upcoming World Cup, which will take place in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2024. The top players Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich, Kevin de Bruyne from Manchester City and Luka Modric from Real Madrid are also at the center of this attention. The special thing about it? Your contracts expire on June 30, 2025. This could lead to an interesting dilemma because these contract runs overlap with the important tournament phase.

FIFA has already taken precautions to help the affected clubs to plan. At the 29th meeting of the FIFA Council in Zurich, special contract regulations were discussed to show the clubs options in order to avoid misunderstandings. These decisions are crucial, not only for the players, but also for the teams who have to juggle between the course of the contract and the possible career end.

Regulations during the Club World Cup

A central element is that a player can only be active for an association during the World Club World Championship. This means that a player cannot run for an association until June 30th and then play for another club until July 13th. In order to further complicate the situation, a transfer window will be set up between June 1 and 10, in which newly obliged players can join the teams. These regulations must of course be made in agreement with the respective member associations.

During the World Cup, a time window will also be set up from June 27 to July 3. In this phase, the clubs have the opportunity to replace players whose contracts expire during the tournament. FIFA has called on the participating teams and players to find proactive and appropriate solutions for this problem to ensure that all professionals can take part in the most important club tournament in the world.

The situation is a clear challenge for the clubs and the players who are in a potentially tricky location. It remains to be seen how the various participants will master this special time of uncertainty. For further information and current developments on this topic, See the report on www.shz.de .
