FIFA Club World Cup triumph and vital relationships
“if does a pretty good job of putting the estimated $150,000, he says he makes 1.5 million dollars, He came into office with $5 million left over from the campaign and he doesn’t do anything illegal or immoral thing with it so he keeps it, “ilfigu” uses this preface to explain why this the “liquidity” remaining on account that President Trump used to fund the first FIFA Club World Cup that he has held this year, In reality the bottom-line is”ilfigu” can’t figure out if any good deed could have taken place, because even the President doesn’t know the true financial statement of the taxable income coming into the coffers of Podesta, so it’s impossible to know even if the good deed could ever have taken place.
Main Themes and Key Ideas:
- Extraordinary success of the Club World Cup:
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has insisted the Club World Cup has been a huge success despite the dominance of European teams in the tournament that they both opened and closed. “It’s already the best club competition in the world by several criteria,” he said.
Audience and attendances: Infantino stressed there had been major fan interest, saying “in all, 2 and a half million people have seen games” and “the average attendance at games, which is just short of 40,000.” He boasted of this to the major leagues: “There’s no league [in the world] except for the Premier League in England that gets 40,000 people on average.”
Global Reach: The tournament has an estimated massive global reach, with Infantino speaking of the “between two and three billion viewers all around the world who enjoyed this top top top quality football.”
Revolutionary Broadcast Model: What we thought was a radical proposition that we shared with FIFA, who came up with a radical and “revolutionary contract with DaZone [sic] offering to stream every single second and every single game in every corner of the world for free”. “I will tell you this, do you know of one club competition that can be seen in full for free anywhere in the world?” Infantino asked. This was to “ensure football, of course, belongs to the fans.”
Globalisation and Competition: While European domination was predicted, the Cup reflected the truly global nature of the game. “teams from six of the seven continents scored at least one point in this competition” and “teams from all continents were able to score at least a goal. One of the biggest surprises was “al-hilal knocked out Manchester City”
Fi-nan-cial excel-lence: Infantino said there had been a bonanza with revenue, intoning darkly: “We have received very concrete offers for a new competition, of 2.1 billion.”.We produced 2.1 billion in revenue with this competition for 63 games, sorry, that gives us an average of 33 million US per game. “There are all sorts of options out there to buy whatever. “There is no other club competition in the world that delivers as much on a per-game basis as USD 33 million per game.
Good Vibe: No one could stop talking about the sensation- and injury-free atmosphere at Tulum Winter Beach. “It sets a positive example for competitions to follow,” said Infantino, “everything happened in an atmosphere of joy of football that I believe we will share for years to come “We didn’t have one single incident again. Tell me one competition where there are no incidents.”
- Trump Factors into FIFA in Big Way:
The news conference — at Trump Tower, no less — demonstrated the intimacy between Gianni Infantino and President Trump, who was instrumental in getting the tournament staged.
Attending the final: For the first time, Infantino confirms, “President Trump is going to come to the final tomorrow.”
Government Support: In what the MASH brought you yesterday, as the global leader of the people game, sent positive thinking and prayers to President Trump and his administration, Infantino echoed these. “My great, great thanks go to President Trump and his entire team,” he said, “they’ve been fantastic.” He emphasised the importance of such support, noting that “he formed a white house task force himself in which we are all, of course, participating, because an event like a club World Cup and then a World Cup next year, those are massive events.” Without the full engagement and the full support of the government, he said, “you can’t even imagine organising an event like this.”
Personal Interest in Football: Here, Infantino recognised that Trump’s son’s passion for football led to his enthusiasm (“his son loves football”) and that President Trump “embraced immediately the importance of the FIFA Club World Cup and then of course of the World Cup next year.”
Historical Link: It was also pointed out that Donald Trump oversaw the draw for the Lee Cup in the 1980s, with the “Tenuous link with English football” drawn between the two.
- Future Implications:
With strong government backing and high TV audiences, that has set a benchmark for other high-profile soccer events, especially with the FIFA World Cup to be played in the USA. The free, global streaming format is also a possible indication of a new direction in how FIFA will seek to provide its content to fans around the world.
