Excitement has been built in front of 2025 FIFA Club World CupWhich will gather top clubs and stars from all over the world. However, the controversy struck during the international break, as Club Leon was assured from the tournament just three months before Kickoff. One week after the decision, Team star James Rodriguez criticized FIFA publicly over the decision.
With fewer than 100 days until the tournament begins, FIFA made the drastic decision to officially remove the club Leon from the renewed club World Cup. In response, several players have stated – especially Rodríguez, who did not hesitate to deal with the situation.
“In think that if we are out (of the club’s World Cup)It is something that is not fair. I think the team that stops walking instead will be embarrassed. It is not fair to anyone – for the whole club that has achieved fantastic things. And especially to all people who have spent money; Fans who went to debt just to be able to go. And now, How do you tell them they don’t go?“Said Star Candidly at Friday’s press conference.
Rodriguez continued to demand more openness from FIFA and questioned the motivations behind the decision: “I think there are interests that go beyond many things. I doubt all this. It’s strange. I think there is a great interest in making sure someone else is there. I think fifa has to rise. I have doubts, I really do. And i think football is colored. “
The first edition of the extended club World Cup is scheduled to start on June 14. With many fans who have already bought tickets waiting to see their team compete, the decision seems to remove Leon irreversibly – and no official compensation has been announced yet.
