shit, we don't even get the badge for the space between the old and the new styles, as they are doing a last gasp old style 8 team tourney starting February 1, 2023

Real Madrid (who will likely win it again for their FIFTH title (5-0), although Flamengo is pretty loaded) will get to keep the fucking title for 2 and a half years.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

also, what about this?

EXCLUSIVE: Europe's elite clubs deal major blow to FIFA as they REJECT proposal to launch new 32-team Club World Cup in the USA in 2025, with governing body running out of time to find solution

  • FIFA have been seeking approval to stage a 32-team competition in the US
  • Europe's biggest clubs have rejected the proposal for the summer of 2025 
  • FIFA refused to sign Memorandum of Understanding in retributive act 
  • Clubs could theoretically refuse to release players to play for their countries 
  • The goal for FIFA FIFA is to hold an expanded Club World Cup every four years

 

Europe's biggest clubs have rejected a proposal from FIFA to launch a new Club World Cup in the summer of 2025 in a major blow to the world governing body. 

Sportsmail has learned that FIFA have been seeking approval to stage a 32-team competition in the United States during negotiations that have taken place in Qatar over the last few weeks, but the clubs are refusing to endorse the proposals.

FIFA had been hoping to get the deal done at a meeting of the European Clubs Association, which represents the interests of the 220 leading European clubs, in Doha last Friday, but president Gianni Infantino pulled out at the last minute when it became clear his project would not be signed off. 

The MoU is an agreement between FIFA and the clubs covering the international match calendar, player release dates and compensation paid to the clubs. 

If a new deal is not signed in the interim clubs could theoretically refuse to release players to play for their countries during the next international break in March.

FIFA have been seeking to relaunch the Club World Cup for several years and a 24-team competition was planned to take place in China last year, only for it to be cancelled due to the pandemic. 

UEFA are opposed to a concept they see as a threat to the primacy of the Champions League, although the clubs could be persuaded if it is sufficiently lucrative amid rumours of FIFA offering £150milllion in prize money.

Gianni Infantino announces 32-team men’s Club World Cup in 2025

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/16/gianni-infantino-announces-32-team-mens-club-world-cup-in-2025

 

  • Fifa president risks wrath of Europe’s leading federations
  • No agreements made with relevant domestic leagues

Gianni Infantino has risked a major row with Europe’s leading federations by announcing that Fifa will launch a 32-team men’s Club World Cup in 2025.

In what amounts to an ambush to the Premier League and its counterparts, the Fifa president confirmed the drastic expansion of a tournament whose current annual iteration sees seven teams compete. His revelation was made even though no agreements have been made with the relevant domestic leagues.

The revamped event will, as trailed by Infantino, take place every four years. It is understood that no formal proposals have been shown to the Premier League, whose stance was set in November 2021 and remains unchanged. Back then the league’s chief executive, Richard Masters, said it was “committed to preventing any radical changes to the post-2024 Fifa international match calendar that would adversely affect player welfare and threaten the competitiveness, calendar, structures and traditions of domestic football.”

There is no indication at this stage about the likely venue for a tournament that will require significant financial backing. An expanded Club World Cup has long been a hobby horse of Infantino’s. In 2018 he proposed a new 24-team event that was looked on dimly by Uefa; it was slated to take place in China last year but was put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Barrelling on with a plan for an even bigger event will raise eyebrows across Europe and sets some of the sport’s key stakeholders on a collision course. It is inconceivable Infantino’s plan would not involve a bulk of European teams. He also confirmed a new women’s Club World Cup is being planned.

Infantino’s announcement was his most eye-catching statement in a press conference, staged in the runup to Sunday’s World Cup final in Doha, which revealed that this winter’s tournament had brought in $7.5bn in revenues, $1bn more than budgeted, and boasted of its “unique cohesive power”. The president offered little in the way of answers to questions about off-pitch issues that have clouded Qatar 2022, saying Fifa is “defending human rights” and suggesting that figures around the deaths of migrant workers connected with the tournament have not been used accurately.

He also announced that a new “Fifa World Series” of friendly tournaments, designed to pit teams from different continents against each other more frequently, will take place in even years across the March international break.

The proposal was light on detail but is likely to generate further concerns about its added impact on existing scheduling and players’ travel time.

There were outbreaks of common sense in a speech that otherwise posed many more questions than solutions. Infantino said Fifa will reconsider the format of the group stage at the expanded 2026 World Cup, the drama of this year’s quarters reducing the likelihood that the next edition will comprise 16 groups of three. He also said that from 2025 the September and October international windows will be merged to create one extended break with four matchdays. A new women’s futsal World Cup was also among the raft of new events Infantino introduced.

FIFA approves plans for expanded Club World Cup in 2025 with Chelsea, Real Madrid qualifying automatically

https://theathletic.com/4307281/2023/03/14/fifa-club-world-cup-2025-teams/

FIFA has approved plans for an expanded Club World Cup in 2025, with Chelsea and Real Madrid handed automatic qualification spots.

The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the title, but FIFA president Gianni Infantino revealed plans in December for an expanded 32-team tournament from June 2025 and FIFA approved the proposal at its council meeting in Rwanda on Tuesday.

The new format of the tournament will consist of eight groups of four, with the top two teams of each group going through to a knockout round.

As the last two winners of the Champions League, Chelsea, and Real Madrid will be guaranteed a spot in the tournament and two more spots will be issued to the 2023 and 2024 Champions League winners.

As the Copa Libertadores is currently due to be held in November, South American clubs would not have finished their qualification tournaments in time to qualify for the new Club World Cup that year.

The new 32-team tournament is scheduled for 2025 and then 2029, but the current seven-team format will continue in its current December slot in 2024 — and in the years between the bumper version. That smaller tournament will run under a new name.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the World Cup final in December, Infantino said the expanded tournament would be “like a World Cup”.

The international match calendar will be altered from 2025, with one extended break taking in four matches in late September and early October replacing two separate windows in September and October.

The governing body said that the other windows — in November, March and June — would remain unchanged.

Since taking over from Sepp Blatter in 2016, Infantino has sought to expand the Club World Cup and add to the pool of teams.

Speaking in 2016, he said: “Today football is not just about Europe and South America. The world has changed and that’s why we need to make the Club World Cup more interesting for teams, and also for fans around the world.”

Real Madrid are the current holders of the Club World Cup after defeating Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal last month to win the trophy for a record fifth time.

He estado trabajando en la industria del turismo durante mucho tiempo. Es por eso que a menudo vuelo por trabajo a diferentes partes del mundo. Suelo alquilar un coche cuando vuelo a algún sitio. Porque es más seguro, más cómodo y puedes ver más en tu propio transporte. Por cierto, cuando volé a España, conocí a varios jugadores del Real Madrid.

So another competition which you now don’t need to actually win anything to enter? Hmmmm. How does that work…. And I thought after the Super League fiasco they were clamping down on these sort of buy a place competition because of who the club is 💰💰💰💰

This was of great interest until 1970.
The South American teams were keeping their players and there were no transfers to Europe, or very few.
So it was a clash of giants.
But the South Americans were not very friendly. United played in the intercontinental final of 1968 and they got a few kicks down in Argentina.
Then with AC Milan, il notte del fuoco.
Then Ajax abstained and Panathinaikos took his place against National Montevideo. The Uruguayans did n't really want to hurt the Greeks - only one player in hospital.
Now it's not such a big deal because all the good South Americans play in Europe.

You have to win something. It will be once every 4 years and from my understanding last 4 CL winners and last 4 EL winners will represent Europe.

Hmm. Still, why the last 4 of each? Seems stupid. But money talks
