FIFA chief Gianni Infantino has proposed the idea as chance to generate more excitement—and more money—for federations around the world.And while FIFA's plan has broad support from smaller nations that make up the membership ranks, many of the most powerful voices in the game, including countries that host big professional leagues in Europe, are forcefully against it.

The debate is heading for a showdown vote in December.
