Taste the sweetness! Guardian: Real Madrid hopes that the Club World Cup will be held every two years, Infantino feels it is too frequent

July 19th News The first Club World Cup after the reorganization ended this week, and Chelsea won the championship trophy. The Guardian wrote an article reporting on the development prospects of the Club World Cup.

According to the news obtained by the Guardian, during the Club World Cup, FIFA and various clubs and the Football Association held a meeting in Miami. Real Madrid proposed the possibility of hosting the Club World Cup once in two years, but it was not recognized in the end.

Real Madrid has achieved great commercial success in this Club World Cup. Real Madrid fans contributed 25% of the Club World Cup tickets, and Real Madrid also won a large bonus in the Club World Cup.

But FIFA does not intend to realize Real Madrid's wish, and even Infantino feels this is a bit too much, but the discussion about the expansion of the Club World Cup to 48 teams in 2029 is still continuing.

FIFA officials privately acknowledged that the qualification procedures and venue for the next Club World Cup are pending. Qatar announced its bid for the next Club World Cup at a FIFA meeting last month, but it is generally believed that FIFA is more inclined to be jointly organized by Morocco, Spain and Portugal, the host of the 2030 World Cup. However, Morocco and Spain want to hold it separately, while Portugal has not expressed interest yet.

Infantino said that the Club World Cup generated $2.1 billion in revenue, with an average of $33 million per game, total ticket sales reached 2.5 million, and an average of 40,000 spectators. Although there were only a few thousand spectators in some games, FIFA believes that this attempt is worth it.

In this Club World Cup, Musiara is the only player seriously injured, but complaints about the high temperature and game conditions are emerging one after another, and the real impact of the Club World Cup on participating players may not be known in the next few months.
