Did You Know The new Club World Cup will begin with Messi, and Neymar will play Madrid.
Club World Cup will begin on June 15 when Lionel Messi and Inter Miami play Egypt's Al Ahly, according to the tournament's draw announced on Thursday. Argentina World Cup winner Messi, whose Miami team was granted a spot by FIFA after finishing first in the regular season standings in Major League Soccer, is joined by Portuguese team Porto and Brazilian team Palmeiras in Group A. Brazilian Neymar, Messi's former Barcelona teammate, will reunite with La Liga opponents and European winners Real Madrid in Group H.
What Transpired?
Twelve European teams will compete in the competition, which FIFA President Gianni Infantino claimed would "start a new era in club football." Manchester City will play Juventus in Group G. Paris Saint-Germain was placed in a difficult group that included the Seattle Sounders, Atletico Madrid, and Brazil's Botafogo, the Copa Libertadores champions. There was a lot of support for the competition among those at the draw, despite some doubts about the tournament's necessity and likelihood of grabbing viewers' attention.
The Superior picture
The draw, which was hosted by former Juventus and Italy star Alessandro Del Piero and included celebrities like model Adriana Lima, included Trump's daughter Ivanka. Club executives and past players gathered for Thursday's draw, and before the ritual, which was carried live from a Miami television studio for 90 minutes, US President-elect Donald Trump delivered a video message wishing everyone the best. "It's going to be an amazing event," Trump wrote in his message, hailing Infantino as a "winner." "As everyone knows, soccer is booming, so I'm really honored to have this kind of relationship with someone we've known for a long time," he continued.
What next for Neymar and Messi
The tournament's final is scheduled for July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. FIFA announced a worldwide agreement with streaming service DAZN on Wednesday, which will broadcast the games for free after the organization had trouble finding sponsors and broadcasters for the new competition. Some players in the game have opposed the new competition and the world governing organization.
Due to FIFA's inclusion of the competition in the international match calendar, FIFpro and the European Leagues organization jointly complained to the European Commission.The new tournament's detractors claim it raises players' workloads and adds even more chaos to an already packed schedule. However, the teams and leagues that will be represented next year showed little more than support for the competition.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of PSG and the chairman of the European Clubs Association, stated, "We are very supportive of this tournament, We are excited." According to Al-Khelaifi, the competition would help PSG build their brand and was a better way for clubs to perform in the USA than preseason friendly tours. Don Garber, the World Leagues Association's vice-chair and commissioner of Major League Soccer, also endorsed the initiative.
Did you Know
"It took time to generate all the interest that you are seeing here today," the American said of the competition. We're going to have a lot of our stadiums involved. "There are 100 million fans who follow what we call league (club) soccer and they're going to be interested to see MLS teams and Mexican teams as well as teams from all Europe, South America, and the rest of the world," Garber continued. "Good things come to those that sort of put in the work and FIFA put in the work."
Conclusion
I sincerely would love Lionel Messi and Neymar to be on the football bitch again, seeing such amazing players on the bitch brings back joys and happiness at the old friends they used to be in Barcelona.
