[Saba Sports News] Recently, FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced at the opening ceremony of the 2025 FIFA Congress that the newly reformed Club World Cup will be broadcast free of charge to football fans worldwide. Infantino stated that FIFA has reached a revolutionary TV broadcasting agreement with DAZN, allowing everyone in the world to watch every match of the Club World Cup for free. Infantino emphasized that this free broadcast is open to all and will ensure that football belongs to every fan through agreements with DAZN and major broadcasting companies in various countries around the world, ensuring that everyone has the right to watch matches for free. This is very important in the eyes of FIFA. Infantino also mentioned that in terms of income and costs, FIFA will not gain any income or incur expenses, so no reserve funds will be used. All benefits will be returned to football endeavors, including bonuses for clubs and setting up a global club football solidarity fund. Infantino thanked various federations, associations, leagues, clubs, players, and the European Club Association for their support, which collectively helped realize this vision, ensuring that the Club World Cup shines on the global stage, not limited to the national team level.
