FIFPRO is demanding that FIFA postpone the men's Club World Cup scheduled for next year. The union has labeled the situation as an 'emergency' due to player fatigue and has warned that players are prepared to strike if their concerns are not addressed. Premier League players are particularly vocal, with the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) supporting their stance. The Premier League boss has also backed the burnt-out players, emphasizing the severity of the issue.
