LONDON (Reuters) - The president of Major League Soccer Don Garber says he recognises the concern over FIFA's enlarged 32-team Club World Cup to be hosted in the United States next year after LaLiga chief Javier Tebas called for the tournament to be scrapped.

The new tournament from soccer's world governing body, featuring 12 European clubs, will come after a season featuring an expanded UEFA Champions League and before an enlarged 48-team World Cup in 2026, hosted in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
