[Saba Sports News] FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently spoke about the reformed Club World Cup at a sports summit in Argentina. Infantino stated, “This will be an innovative, inclusive, and performance-based event that will redefine the way to win the unique Club World Cup, its timing, and its location. For all fans and players, this will be a dream come true. The idea of a ‘Club World Cup’ is very special, transcending football. Next year’s Club World Cup will bring the magic of the national team World Cup to the club level, marking a historic beginning. This will make our sport better and enhance the experience for all future generations who will love football as much as we do.” Finally, Infantino pledged that all profits from the Club World Cup will be invested in club football around the world, with FIFA not retaining a single penny. The possibility of qualifying for the Club World Cup every four years will provide additional motivation for clubs to plan and invest in the future.
