  • In a Telemundo studio in Miami, things started weird and rarely became any less surreal over almost two hours as FIFA oversaw the draw for their revamped Club World Cup competition, which will began in the United States on June 15, 2025, and feature 32 club teams from all corners of the planet.

The article from The Athletic discusses the controversy surrounding FIFA President Gianni Infantino's decision to expand the Club World Cup, which has drawn criticism from various stakeholders in the soccer community. The expansion, set to occur in 2025, aims to increase the tournament's size and revenue but has been met with resistance due to concerns over player welfare, scheduling conflicts, and the perceived commercialization of the sport. Critics argue that the move prioritizes financial gain over the well-being of players and the integrity of domestic leagues. The article highlights the involvement of former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has reportedly been in discussions with Infantino about hosting future tournaments in the United States, further fueling debates about the influence of politics and money in soccer governance.
