FIFA’s $1 Billion Baby, Club World Cup, Facing A Number Of Challenges
- The FIFA Club World Cup began on June 14, 2025, in the United States with Inter Miami hosting and playing against Egypt's Al Ahly in Miami Gardens.
- The event expanded to 32 teams and features $1 billion in prize money, but has faced controversy including lagging ticket sales and concerns over players' congested schedules.
- Inter Miami, coached by Javier Mascherano, fields star players including Lionel Messi, who is eager to compete with different expectations than past tournaments despite a few key injuries.
- Messi has scored five goals and provided one assist in previous Club World Cups and aims to tie or break records held by Cristiano Ronaldo, who is absent this year.
- The tournament serves as a significant test of team quality and raises issues around player wellbeing while potentially boosting MLS visibility through Inter Miami's and Messi's participation.
