Miami: Eye -waters with a reward of 1 billion prizes, some of the biggest stars and clubs of the game compete against the world, all the ingredients in FIFA’s new club World Cup are a huge event.
But the 32 teams tournament, which will be played in the United States from June 14 to July 13, has faced criticism and doubts since FIFA’s President Giani Infantino began to swim.
As a completely new arrival of the already crowded football landscape, it remains to be seen whether the competition is able to create a regular space in the calendar. Players’ representatives, such as the Global Union FIF Pro, have warned about the burden of more work on the players, while others have raised the question of whether the group will enter a large number of fans for stage fixtures.
“Players will have to perform at the end of the 11 -month season, which will be less likely to rest before the next season begins,” FIFA warned when FIFA officially announced the tournament in 2023.
The event certainly enhances already busy schedules for top players in the world. Inter -Milan’s Marcus Thoram and Paris St. German’s wish Duo played in the final of the UEFA Champions League on May 31, and then changed the shirts to represent their country in the Nations League final in the days of Germany.
He has then joined his clubs for the new FIFA tournament, which is expected to move forward in the final phase of the two sides. In these late games in the tournament, which are likely to present high European clubs against the best sake of South America, large crowds should be attracted, but it remains to be seen how good is the sale of tickets for group -phase sports sports with less global famous clubs in Asia, North America and Africa.
A fixture, such as the June 17 encounter in Orlando, between South Korean club Als HD and South Africa’s Mammudi Syndrons, will definitely require all US marketing power to attract a full home.
But FIFA hopes that Broadcasters offers free series of free series of tournaments and lure of giant clubs and player brands, new competitions will be fascinated by fans around the world.
Infantino said, “We’re talking about something that has never seen before (this) will bring the national team’s World Cup magic club to the level.” He added, “This tournament will be the beginning of something historical, something that will change our game for better and for all future generations that will love it as us.”
In this era when players are more interested, if not more than clubs, the involvement of stars like Lionel Messi, Harry Ken and Kylin MBP should ensure that social media is resonating.
Of the 32 teams, twelve comes from Europe, including the latest trader Champions League winner PSG, the most successful club of the continent, Real Madrid, Premier League Giants Manchester City and Chelsea, and the German Power Houses Believers Munich.
Six teams from South America consist of four Brazil’s clubs, including Copa Libertez’s winner Botafogo and his Rio de Janeiro rivals Flemango, as well as Argentina’s two largest club River Plate and Boca Juniors.
In addition to local interest, there are three teams from Major League Soccer – a pair of Maxia’s clubs in Pachuka and Monterery, along with Los Angeles FC, Seattle Sounds and Messi Inter Miami, who can expect considerable help in the United States.
Four clubs represents Africa, including Egypt’s floor, who opened the tournament against Messi and Miami on June 14, while the Saudi club Al Hellal is in the Asia Corat. American fans regularly snatch tickets for big European teams who come to NFL Stadium to play pre -season friendly games and therefore the additional competitive element should see a healthy crowd for red actors.
FIFA questions about questions about how seriously the clubs have taken the new competition after the announcement of the big prize fund. Billions of dollars are distributed for all clubs for participation fees and prizes in the tournament. The winner can depart with maximum million 125 million.
The current FIFA plan is to hold the tournament every four years, but it would be interesting to see if it changes after the first test of its appeal. If this is a flop, the possibility of critics will be reopened and will be asked if it needs it at all, but it should be a thunderous success, it is not difficult to imagine that some in FIFA should be held on a regular basis.
