FIFA President Gianni Infantino proclaimed the Club World Cup as the most successful club competition globally. Despite facing criticism for player demands and attendance concerns, he reported a revenue of $2.1bn from 63 matches, averaging $33m per match. Infantino emphasized that defenses against the tournament, particularly from figures like Jurgen Klopp, do not represent a majority European viewpoint. Infantino noted satisfaction with match attendance, even when games were not sold out, asserting that all participating teams expressed happiness with their experiences.
We can definitely say this FIFA Club World Cup has been a huge success. We heard that financially it would not work, that nobody is interested, but I can say we generated almost $2.1bn in revenues for 63 matches.
The golden age of club football has started. This Club World Cup has been the most successful club competition in the world.
...despite many games being far from sold out, Infantino said he was satisfied with the attendance at matches.
We shouldn't say that the opinion of Europe on this is very bad because it is not true. All the teams who have come here have been happy.
