Due to the potential substantial revenue from the expansion of the Club World Cup (Club WC), FIFA President Infantino will not consider canceling the event. However, in recent days, he has also become aware of another reality: there is no interest from anyone in purchasing broadcasting rights.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are still many uncertainties surrounding the new Club World Cup tournament. Currently, apart from the 32 participating teams, the only confirmed detail is the hosting dates (June 15 to July 13), while the schedule and venues remain undecided.
During the spring, FIFA held negotiations with Apple, discussing the sale of global television broadcasting rights. The base amount discussed was $1 billion, merely a quarter of the initial expectations. Revenue from broadcasting rights directly affects the income of participating teams, which could lead to complaints from all participating teams at the event.
