💨 Abstract

FIFA and players' representatives have agreed on a 72-hour rest period between matches and a minimum of 21 days of holidays at the end of each season.This move, discussed ahead of the Club World Cup final, aims to address concerns over player burnout and injuries. However, implementing a strict 72-hour break could disrupt game schedules and TV deals, particularly with the German Bundesliga playing most of its matches over the weekends.
