London: FIFA’s $ billion gambling starts a week on Sunday to bring about a club’s football, which has plenty of cash for grip, but with objectionable enthusiasm, 32 teams are preparing to compete with the expanded club World Cup in 12 stadiums in the United States.
The tournament-which is designed as a shining curtain rise for the 2026 World Cup-also had to eliminate the possibility of vacant seats with controversial qualifications rules and welfare concerns of players.
Lionel Messi’s Inter -Miami competition is in fact the opening of Egypt in Miami on June 14, with widespread tickets available, while the FIFA website shows that seats are still purchased for the July 13 final at New Jersey’s Met Life Stadium.
FIFA said it was a normal policy not to disclose the details of the sale of tickets before a tournament, but indicated the fact that tickets were sold to more than 130 countries as proof of CWC’s broad appeal.
Inter -Miami, despite losing in the first round of the play office, got his slot in a regular season of Major League Soccer in a regular season standing, in a decision that critics say that Argentina’s disappointment in FIFA exhibition shows great disappointment.
Thus Inter -Miami was added as a host Nation representative – instead MLS Champion La Galaxy – Los Angeles FC and Seattle Sounds made it three US teams after qualifying through their Connect Performance.
Along with the winners of the Premier Club competition of each Confederation, teams qualified for a four -year period on the basis of their performance. In another turn, which went all the way for a court mediation for sports, the club Lyon, the 2023 Konak Champions Cup winners, were eventually excluded from the tournament due to a joint ownership with another qualifier.
Six months before the tournament, the last gas with the sports platform Disten to control the $ 1 billion TV rights contract is expected to have a total of $ 2 billion. Because of this, FIFA announced a total prize pot of $ 1 billion, in which the winning club received up to 125 million millions.
FIFA said there is also an unprecedented solidarity investment program in which club football has been provided with an additional $ 250 million target worldwide and all income from the tournament will be distributed to club football.
This award can be seen by the mouth for the owners of the club, but for many players it will feel like a longer season after a long season, and the European Singer of Players Union Fafro and the European League took legal action against FIFA.
In response, FIFA said it had “dozens of evidence of players and coaches to have positive talks on the tournament” and said that it was unfair to blame the CWC for a calendar crowd. “This is a competitive tournament that is once every four years, with a maximum of seven matches for the two teams to reach the final,” said a FIFA spokeswoman.
FIFA has also assured that NFL stadiums host matches will meet their features, confirming that all locations will display natural grass and that last season’s Copa will follow the standard rules dimensions after sub -pitches in the United States.
Distributed into eight groups of four teams, top contenders include Real Madrid, six of the last 12 Champions League titles, as well as German champions Baren Munich and 2023 Premier League and Champions League winner Manchester City.
European champions Paris St. German is the team in the tournament after hitting Inter Milan’s historic 5-0 in the Champions League final on Saturday. But they should avoid a tough group B, which features South American and Brazilian champions Botta Fogo and 2024 conqueror Seattle Sounds Plus Plus Spanish Giants Athletico Madrid.
Whether you call it football or football, the tournament for FIFA represents a dress rehearsal and represents a referendum on the US hunger for the game and hosted the United States, Mexico and Canada before the 2026 World Cup on the vision of the global governing body for its commercial future.
