FIFA 2025 World Cup is slowly, but surely approaching. The first edition will begin on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and will conclude on July 13 at the MetLife Stadium in New York, New Jersey, the venue that will host the final of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada the following year. There has been a lot of noise about this extended competition as soon as president Gianni Infantino announced it for the first time. Every club involved accepted the participation due to prize money, but the timeline is terrible, as it will happen during the time when players should be resting. This way, it will be as they participated in a World Cup or an EURO competition.Lukas Podolski returns to Poland to end his career at his grandmother’s favourite clubMany players talked about boycotting some competition in order to raise the question of overbooked football schedule during the year, but so far, nobody actually started to act in that direction. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin hurried to announce that the European football body won‘t put any more games and competitions as the ‘calendar is full‘ but Infantino is pushing the World Cup relentlessly. But, he too must give something back, as the Italian realizes that the anger among the players is big. So he tried to ‘sweeten‘ the upcoming grueling schedule by announcing that FIFA will use all the money from the competition to invest in football around the world. UEFA admits: ‘The calendar is full'”We are talking about something never seen before. Next year’s FIFA Club World Cup will bring the magic of a World Cup for national teams to the club world. This tournament will be the start of something historic, something that will change our sport for the better and for all the future generations who will come to love it as we do. FIFA will not keep a single euro of the tournament’s revenue, which will be invested in club football around the world, something that will bring global solidarity to club football for the first time“ he said in a recorded message he sent to the ‘Olé Sports Summit’ being held this week in Buenos Aires. Will anyone believe him is another story.##NAJAVA_MECA_8495297##
