Gianni Infantino sees the future of club football in a new format, and Donald Trump presented the trophy. Football players and coaches responded ambiguously to the changes. The best of all the drawbacks of the club World Cup was formulated by Pep Guardiola: “I am not against new competitions, I am against the lack of time to restore between seasons. Here I am complaining about it all the time. It’s normal to play every three, five or seven days, but when we finish the season, you need time before we start work again. ” Given the 2025 World Cup, the best European teams will play more than 70 matches per season. But FIFA believe: the best club football is not the prerogative of wealthy Europeans. The organizers said that the broadcasts of all matches will be free.

A few months later, the company slightly reduced prices, but most French fans abandoned official broadcasts and preferred pirate. Now Dazn accuses League 1 of inaction: only 500 thousand people bought a paid subscription to the channel, and streaming needs at least three times more. The company underwent $ 79 million and accused the functionaries of non -fulfillment of obligations. Negotiations have not led to anything, and now the 1e League is suing DAZN. After the failure in France, the Club World Cup is a key streaming transaction. DAZN will show all 63 matches for free. The service is already looking for large broadcasters in key countries to share with them the rights to broadcast. The first was the contract with Warner Bros – the company will show the tournament in the United States, where the World Cup and will pass. Dazn is increasingly getting closer to FIFA. The general director of Shei Segev has already stated that the company hopes to reach a new level, thanks to cooperation: “This innovative deal with FIFA is an important milestone on the Dazn path to become the main entertainment platform for sports lovers around the world.
