The FIFA Series sees world football’s governing body support its member associations in organising international friendly matches comprising four national teams from different confederations in a single host country.
The initiative provides FIFA Member Associations with a more regular opportunity to face national teams from other continents, which will serve to unlock technical development opportunities previously unavailable to many of them.
The pilot project runs from 18 to 26 March 2024. The forthcoming edition of the FIFA Series features national teams from all six confederations, and future instalments are planned during every March international match window of even years.
The FIFA Series is a really positive step forward for national-team football at global level. It will enable far more valuable footballing interaction for players, teams and fans, and will make a concrete contribution to the development of the game.
