Tottenham chairman Levy welcomes Club World Cup expansion

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wants to be part of FIFA's expanded Club World Cup.

The Daily Express says Levy has made it clear he wants the club to be involved in the new expanded Club World Cup in the future, which could see the club earn £50million for taking part.

FIFA announced last year the Club World Cup would be expanded to include 24 teams instead of the current seven that take part.

Tottenham's board members met with the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust a week ago and Levy addressed the potential of entering the Club World Cup.

Daniel Levy felt the Club World Cup would probably happen but it wasn't clear how many teams from Europe would be involved yet," the minutes of the meeting read.

Daniel Levy would like Spurs to take part in that. It could replace an overseas tour and offer a more competitive edge for the players.

“However, there would be problems for the fixture calendar with too many games already. The FA is currently looking at how to ease pressure."
