FIFA Finally Backs Player Rest Days!

Big news for footballers worldwide: after a heated standoff, FIFA and global player unions have agreed on mandatory rest periods! With the Club World Cup expanding and fixture congestion at an all-time high, unions like FIFPRO pushed hard for player welfare. Now, there’s a 72-hour minimum gap between matches and a three-week offseason break. This is a huge win for the players—think less burnout for stars like the Egyptian King and more quality on the pitch. Thoughts on how this will impact club vs. country rivalries? #Sports #Soccer #FIFA
