During a presentation at the University of Madrid, Mr. Tebas strongly criticized the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. He declared: “My goal is to abolish this tournament, so that there is no more FIFA Club World Cup. We do not need another tournament like this."
"What needs to be done is to maintain the current tournament ecosystem, and at the same time eliminate the FIFA Club World Cup, to ensure the sustainability of football. Tournaments like the FIFA Club World Cup will cause tournament copyrights to inflate. I watched the Chelsea match and it looked like a summer friendly," the head of La Liga affirmed.
Just hours after Tebas's statement, Perez responded in an interview with DAZN : "I want to thank FIFA for giving all the fans in the world the opportunity to see the best clubs compete in such a beautiful tournament. This is the first expanded Club World Cup, and I am sure it will be a success. Those who oppose the tournament only want to take football back."
Perez stressed the importance of the tournament: “Finally, Real Madrid has achieved what the club has been fighting for for a long time. Football is the most popular and global sport , and technology has allowed us to organize this tournament, free of charge for the general public. That means children all over the world can watch Real Madrid. Football will change thanks to the combination of big clubs and technology. I was one of the strongest fighters to make this happen,” Perez affirmed.
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup - an expanded 32-team edition - is a strategic gamble by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The world football federation has ambitions to turn the tournament into a "Club World Cup", applying many new rules and technologies.
