I think they might be a clause that says they have to send their best available squad or face sanctions.
Doesn’t mean they have to play the best available players though, and do FIFA have the power to sanction clubs?

Lassana Diarra case is complicated but today’s ruling in European Court of Justice will definitely embolden players and agents.

I’m trying to get my head around all this as not really sure what the changes would be? Would the player be able to break his contract at his Club more easily in the future?
Interesting that Man City + possibly Chelsea asked PL to postpone first 2 matches next season. Shows concerns of those teams competing in FIFA's new Club World Cup https://t.co/15ORXGCexT— Martyn Ziegler (@martynziegler) October 4, 2024

Ancelotti is blaming the calendar for it and we know football unions want strikes. It feels like anything could trigger it.

It is notable that the 3 highest over performing Premier League managers - Silva, Nuno, Frank - are all in a similar mould. Not fashionable. No talk of philosophies or projects. Just play to your strengths. Make opponents lives difficult. Be pragmatic. Can scrap and win.— Colin Millar (@Millar_Colin) October 6, 2024 A few could definitely learn a thing or two.

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1959611/Erling-Haaland-player-strike-Rodri-FIFA More support for a strike. And why are so many players talking about strikes during the international breaks. It worries me that is going to be one of the major targets.
