Player representatives have met with Fifa over the packed fixture calendar that has led to the threat of strike action, with further talks planned.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino led a delegation from the world governing body who met officials from world players’ union Fifpro in Switzerland.
It was the first time the two sides had met in a formal setting since a legal complaint was filed by Fifpro with the European Commission in October over what it said was Fifa’s “abuse of dominance”, which was specifically related to the expanded 32-team Club World Cup, which takes place in the United States this summer.
