Rummenigge said in an interview with Le Monde that it is necessary to expand the Club World Cup.

Rumenig said: "At present in Germany, we tend to look at things with a negative attitude. In the last round of the group stage, everyone was nervously watching the changes in the rankings of the top eight teams. I think it is necessary to expand the Club World Cup, and Infantino is commendable to promote and implement this new competition system."

"From the knockout stage, this event will really be wonderful. In fact, this is true for all events, and I will be very happy to be in such a competition."
