History
On 16 December 2022, FIFA launched a friendly competition proposal, named the "FIFA World Series", in order to give national teams from different confederations more opportunities to play against each other.[1][4][5] FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed the competition on 16 March 2023, following his re-election to the post during the 73rd FIFA Congress in Kigali, Rwanda.[3]
The inaugural edition in 2024 acted as a pilot phase for the competition and was originally going to feature 5 series of 4 teams each to be held in 4 host countries during the FIFA match window from 18 to 26 March 2024.[6][2] Eventually the FIFA Series: Egypt was added for a total of 6 series and 24 teams in the inaugural edition.[7]
Following the success of the pilot phase, Infantino announced the second edition in 2026 during his speech at the 74th FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand in May 2024.[8][9]
