Club World Cup: Fifa give $1bn as Europe nears deal
Due to the importance of its clubs to the game, ECA is expected to receive a higher share of revenue than other mainland clubs, and because these members will not be able to participate in pre-season tours overseas.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Porto and Salzburg Football Club are all represented by the ECA.
Real Madrid is not part of the ECA because of their continued support for the European Premier League.
The ECA is committed to passing the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2023 at least in 2030 and has been committed to supporting the Club World Cup.
Several sources from outside Europe have expressed their competition publicly and privately, although their degree of participation remains in darkness on how much they will get.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in December: “Whatever FIFA does, it has to be global.
“(FIFA) must be involved in the world. (FIFA) must provide opportunities and opportunities for everyone around the world, and the club World Cup does exactly that.”
Meanwhile, FIFA will not make a dollar profit from the game and said it will invest the entire $100 million in club football worldwide.
A FIFA Council meeting will be held to update members’ progress on the game, which will be held at 12 stadiums in 11 cities in the United States during a month-long summer event.
