This triumvirate will continue to form the Management Board of the WLF.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Looking into the future, the leagues welcomed the recent agreement between the WLF and FIFA on the development of professional football by which the leagues and FIFA will work together to improve governance structures and standards in professional football worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The Leagues reiterated the need to regulate agents and their full support to the reform recently adopted by the FIFA Council including a license and a cap on fees.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The Leagues also discussed the future Club World Cup which will be held in 2021 in China. They will make proposals directly to FIFA on the redistribution model in order to not jeopardize competitive balance at domestic level and to emphasize solidarity.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The leagues already running women’s football at domestic level will share their experience and best practices to support other leagues in developing women’s football.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Finally, the leagues expressed their concerns on racism in football.
