FIFA has completely changed the format of the World Club Championship.
The first expansion of the world club championship with 32 teams, which will be held in the United States this summer, will end without many top clubs in Europe.
Barcelona's home defeat against Paris Saint-Germain with a 1:4 draw in the second half, which led to a 4:6 win in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which means that they joined Manchester United, Liverpool and Moscow lanu - teams, how to definitely miss the championship. Arsenal also do not play in the tournament via a ticket from the Champions League against Bayern.
Barsi's replacement is Atletico Madrid, although they also flew into the 1/4 of the Champions League from Borussia Dortmund. The remaining team of Atletico Madrid is lower than that of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbecoming the 22nd club to qualify..
Liverpool, United, Milan and Barcelona will not be among the teams in the World Club Championship 2025. Also, An-Nasr will not compete for victory in the tournament with Cristiano Ronaldo, who at that time will receive 40 victories, and the fate of Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami will be under nutrition.
Also, some of the most titled clubs in the world and a large number of other football players with the greatest commercial profit cannot reserve their participation in the tournament, which means for the new bastard?
“The Premier League is one of the few leagues that can compete with the Champions League for its popularity,” said Paolo Pescatore, director and analyst of technology, media and telecommunications at PP Foresight. "
“As such, officials from these teams, drivers and coaches do not take part in such a tournament, as this would mean a significant additional influx on patients, which also, obviously, does not infuse on sponsorship and the flow of advertising money. Since you don’t have any good clubs, that’s not good.”.
“The World Football Club Championship 2025 will become an important milestone for the secured clubs of all confederations and an important stage, which can be seen on the most important level of the game,” said Infantino in the chest of the past fate. “This will be based on sporting merits, which will play a key role in our efforts to make football truly global.”.
FIFA has set ambitious goals for sponsorship and income from the new World Club Championship, but nothing has yet been determined for prize money or rights to broadcast matches.

“If you got all these (additional) teams, you could have played a few decent games, but you would still be guessing the pre-season tournament, and not the big prize,” said David Murray, sports rights consultant.
“For all intents and purposes, Manchester City and Chelsea are not Manchester United and Liverpool when it comes to global popularity, and Barcelona is also losing greatly. People will enjoy many matches, in addition to the semi-finals and finals?
The time spent is also a factor, which changes from the traditional “summer tournament” to the one that takes place at the club championship in China and in the middle of Europe many football seasons - and is taking place in the States, at that time, as.
Barcelona, \u200b\u200bReal Madrid, Milan, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, as well as other Premier League teams, are already planning to play pre-season matches in the USA this summer, amid concerns about the club championship To the world through the calendar.
“You’ll be amazed at Pep Guardiola’s team for Manchester City,” added Murray. \? Otherwise, you need to select dates for the necessary repairs? Although Kevin De Bruyne and Earling Goland are not going to make a lot of money (at the World Club Championship), they are again starting to guess more about their teammate.
CES will take place immediately after the Champions League, and if you can survive the tournament without losing money, it will also look amazing.
This, like a paid TV station, the fragments of stench often waste people, if there is no football, but they are definitely not faithful to additional prepayments."
Steve Martin, a sports marketing expert, told The Athletic: "
But these ideas are still in the early stages, and I think that they will be able to be developed - buried in other packages, for example, the World Cup in football; Sometimes it won't be just a program.
The other side of the coin lies in the fact that we can open the doors to other markets for games against teams from all over the world. And commercial value, otherwise the stink wouldn’t bother anyone. There is a lot to be learned from work in the long term."
When asked about European important officials, who are skipping the CES, FIFA confirmed that it showed the fairness of the system and a chance to develop the game in the whole world.
The late Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has been a great leader, and his head contributed to the global development of FIFA football, saying: “The positive influx that will affect clubs will be great, as it will increase resources for clubs around the world.
In Europe, we were lucky, but it was important that we made football effectively global, and this created a chance for other clubs to progress, this is true meta. This will give more opportunities for a larger number of people from all over the world to succeed on the greatest level."
