Fifa president Gianni Infantino says there is a need for "way more" football after being re-elected until 2027.
World football's governing body has this week announced an expanded 2026 World Cup and unveiled a new 32-team Club World Cup.
But the expansion of the football calendar has been criticised by player unions and La Liga.
"When I hear there is too much football, yes, maybe in some places, but not everywhere," said Infantino.
"In fact, in most parts of the world there is not enough football played.
"We need way more and not less competitions, we want football to develop worldwide.
