FIFA want to increase from 12 to 17 the number of friendlies played when there is no World Cup or European Championship.
“Fifa has been quite busy with its own internal issues, with the presidential elections,” said the EPFL chief executive, Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros.
“Now these have taken place we believe it is time for Fifa to move forward in discussions with the leagues. The leagues and clubs face the consequences of the decisions made at Fifa level. The national leagues are the bread and butter of football and our members represent 1,000 clubs.”
