Gianni Infantino wants to revolutionize the European calendar with his new Club World Cup. The FIFA president confirmed on Friday that, from 2025, the tournament will have 32 participants and LaLiga's refusal has been forceful
Javier Thebes has left clear his posture against the new World-wide of Clubs that the FIFA plans to implement from 2025. Through a communiqué, the mandator of LaLiga promised legal actions against the maximum body of the world-wide football to brake, via courts, the format announced by Gianni Infantino the Friday for the continental tournament, which would have 32 teams from the summer of 2025.
In a press conference, Infantino explained that this new tournament will contest each four years, with an identical format to the that had the Glass of the World until his edition 2022. "In some places of the world always there are a lot of parties and in other places there is not sufficient. We have to connect to the world and give opportunities to selections or teams of other parts of the world so that they can compete with the best", explained the president of the FIFA.
In this regard, the answer of Javier Thebes has been cutting. "These decisions taken of unilateral way and without preaviso on the calendar with new international tournaments damage of irreversible form to all the ecosystem of the football", exposed LaLiga in a communiqué. In this sense, the patronal Spanish promised to implement legal actions to avoid that the new World-wide of Clubs contest .
"The FIFA only thinks in a reduced group of clubs and players, when in the professional football are a lot of professional leagues, thousands of clubs and players that do not play these international competitions. FIFA Seems to forget and only think in some without knowing the real effect on all the actors of the professional football", adds the communiqué of LaLiga.
The eliminatory for the World-wide of Clubs, an incógnita
Although the tournament would contest in summer, once concluded the leagues and European championships of clubs, one of the main incógnitas and obstacles of the new World-wide that wants the FIFA has to see with the process of selection of the 32 teams. In principle, it would be necessary to make eliminatory or 'play offs' to determine the participants by each confederation, which saturaría, even more, the already complex calendar of the European clubs. In addition to LaLiga, expects that other domestic competitions pronounce in the next days against the project presented the Friday by Gianni Infantino.
