3 problems that are worrying FIFA ahead of the World Championship between clubs
There are only a few days left to kick off the World Championship between clubs. However, even before this major tournament begins, it has already become the center of several problems and discontent. It is evident that the continuity in the organizers' plans is being disrupted.

The issue of broadcasting rights – the large funds FIFA is striving for

Negotiations regarding the tournament's television broadcasts have been quite complicated for FIFA. The organization rejected offers from several major telecommunications companies because they are demanding more funds. For a while, the tournament's holding was also put into question. However, in the end, a contract was signed with the DAZN platform, resolving the issue.

The exclusion of "Leon" and incorrect planning regarding participating teams

The next blow for the organizers came from the Mexican team "Leon." Since the owners of "Leon" and "Pachuka" clubs are the same person, according to the regulations, this team will not be able to participate in the tournament. The substitute team was only announced recently, which caused difficulties in preparation matters. At the same time, several clubs are demanding to increase the number of participants from 32 to 48.

The ticket issue – the posters did not justify themselves

One of the biggest problems ahead of the tournament is the low demand for tickets. Despite FIFA significantly reducing ticket prices, interest in the tournament among fans is low. Posters and advertising campaigns also did not yield the expected results. Interestingly, FIFA has started selling tickets only for sectors that will be visible on television. This, in their opinion, could create a high-interest impression on the air.

Conclusion
Before the World Championship between clubs officially kicks off, it has already turned into a game of significant pressure and problems. This tournament, which should be considered one of FIFA's most prestigious events, seems to have lost the interest seen in previous years' World Championships. This could lead to serious conclusions for the organizers.
