[Saba Sports News] According to the latest news from foreign media, the new Club World Cup will kick off in the United States, with many teams gathering in the country. This should be a grand event; however, one issue has been a constant concern, that of taxation. It is reported that due to the Club World Cup being held in various cities across the United States, the different tax rates in these states may cause clubs to suffer losses due to different competition locations. For example, Paris Saint-Germain may be significantly affected because two out of three group stage matches are held in Los Angeles, while Manchester City may benefit because their last group stage match is in Orlando, as Florida has no state income tax. The editor believes that this reflects a lack of planning and coordination in the early stages of the event organization, which did not fully consider the complexity and importance of tax issues, leading to participating teams facing uncertain tax burdens. If FIFA fails to successfully resolve the tax issue, it may lead to participating teams having concerns and apprehensions about sports events held in the United States.
