León, along with Pachuca, was disqualified from the Club World Cup for multi-club ownership regulations violation. Captain James Rodríguez criticized FIFA, calling the decision unjust, stressing the impact on loyal fans who purchased tickets and are now left disappointed. Rodríguez, who joined León to play in the tournament, expressed hope for a resolution. Coach Eduardo Berizzo announced plans to appeal the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Midfielder Andrés Guardado condemned rival teams seeking to take their spot, holding FIFA accountable for the situation and advocating for León's rightful participation.
It's a big injustice. If they leave us out it is not going to be fair and it will be a stain on soccer. There are fans that have bought tickets and are in debt to pay for them.
We have the right to compete, we did not break any law. The decision is unfair, there is time to fix this.
