FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended the 2025 Club World Cup, held in the United States, asserting that it has achieved significant success on all levels despite criticisms.

Infantino stated in his remarks: "It cannot be said that it is an exhausting tournament; the teams were happy to participate, and we respect different opinions, but as FIFA President, I defend our decisions and the tournament."

The FIFA President added that the tournament achieved unprecedented financial success, noting that it recorded revenues exceeding two billion dollars, with an average of 31 million dollars per match, emphasizing: "It is a remarkable success unmatched by any other sporting event."

All eyes are on MetLife Stadium next Sunday to watch the final match of the tournament between English club Chelsea and French club Paris Saint-Germain, concluding a version that has sparked widespread controversy due to the pressure of matches on players.
