3 problems worrying FIFA ahead of the Club World Cup

The Club World Cup is just days away. However, this major tournament has already become the focus of a number of problems and disagreements before it even begins. It is clear that the coherence of the organizers' plans is being undermined.

The issue of TV rights - the big money that FIFA is seeking

Negotiations by FIFA on the television broadcasts of the tournament were quite complicated. The organization rejected offers from a number of major television companies, as they demanded more money from them. For a while, the tournament itself was even in doubt. However, in the end, an agreement was signed with the DAZN platform and the issue was resolved.

Leon's exclusion and incorrect planning of the participating teams

The next blow for the organizers was associated with the Mexican team Leon. Since the owners of the Leon and Pachuca clubs are the same person, according to the regulations, this team could not participate in the tournament. The team that will replace him was only recently announced, which has created difficulties in the preparation. At the same time, a number of clubs are demanding an increase in the number of participants from 32 to 48.

Ticket problem - posters did not pay off

One of the biggest problems ahead of the tournament is the low demand for tickets. Despite FIFA significantly reducing ticket prices, interest in the tournament among fans is low. Posters and advertising campaigns have also not yielded the expected results. Most interestingly, FIFA has started selling tickets only to sectors that are visible on television. This, they believe, can create a high impression of interest on television.

Conclusion
The Club World Cup has already become a game of great pressure and problems even before it officially starts. This tournament, which should be considered one of FIFA's most prestigious tournaments, has clearly lost the same level of interest as the World Cup in previous years. This could lead to serious conclusions for the organizers. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
