바카라œFIFA only takes into account a small group of clubs and players, when in professional football there are many professional leagues, thousands of clubs and players who do not participate in these international competitions,바카라 the Spanish league said Saturday.

바카라œFIFA seems to forget that and only thinks of a few, without knowing the impact on all in professional football.바카라

A day after FIFA president Gianni Infantino presented his vision of a 32-team Club World Cup for 2025, the Spanish league said this and other FIFA decisions 바카라œmade unilaterally and without notice regarding the calendar with new international tournaments irreversibly damage the entire football ecosystem.바카라

The 2021 edition, won by Chelsea, involved seven teams. Infantino, speaking at the World Cup in Qatar, said the 32-team Club World Cup 바카라œwill go ahead, making it really like a World Cup.바카라

Infantino also floated the idea of a four-team friendly tournament for national sides in March in even-numbered years before major championships, along with other tweaks to the calendar. This comes after FIFA had already solidified plans to increase the World Cup field from 32 to 48 teams in 2026.

The Spanish league said it would consider taking legal action 바카라œto prevent the Club World Cup with the announced format.바카라

The World Leagues Forum had already voiced similar complaints about not being consulted before Infantino announced the plans. An expanded Club World Cup was also questioned by the global players바카라™ union FIFPRO as being detrimental to players바카라™ health.
