FIFA president Gianni Infantino hits back at Club World Cup criticism: ‘It's something special'
Gianni Infantino is brushing off early criticisms of the Club World Cup this summer. The FIFA president, speaking on a small stage at Fanatics Fest in Manhattan this weekend, backed the expanded competition, suggesting any hiccups with the tournament are to be expected because of its novelty. 'So, maybe some criticize it a little bit, but it's something new. It's something special,' Infantino said. 'It's a real World Cup with the best teams and the best players.' Advertisement The tournament has been condemned on multiple fronts. Global player organization FIFPro were outspoken in the additional demands an expanded tournament places on professionals, and, over the past week, several games featured large sections of empty seating as ticket sales failed to reach the kind of level Infantino would have hoped for. The FIFA chief accompanied representatives from Serie A side Juventus as they visited President Donald Trump at the White House and was speaking in New York on the day American strikes were launched at Iran, a potential issue for FIFA with Iran having qualified for next summer's World Cup that the U.S. will share with Canada and Mexico. Infantino's remarks were part of a wide-ranging conversation with Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz at the Javitz Center on Saturday. Before the FIFA head spoke at length about his vision for soccer in America, he was asked about the 'Gianni Cup,' as Schultz jokingly called the Club World Cup. 'It was about time that somebody invented a World Cup for club teams,' Infantino said. 'Since 100 years, we know which is the best country in the world, but, until today, we do not really know which is the best team in the world. So, we thought it might not be a bad idea to create a World Cup for teams to decide.' While the Club World Cup has existed before, this summer's format, featuring 32 teams with a $1 billion fund, is a first. The Club World Cup has had its fair share of criticism, stretching back to when players threatened to boycott the competition over concerns with player workload. Many also question whether its prize pool has the potential to unbalance leagues when participating teams return home. Now that the tournament is underway, though, empty seats and extreme weather have raised eyebrows, particularly as it relates to next year's men's World Cup, also being hosted in the United States. Advertisement Infantino insisted the tournament has got off to a successful start. 'Well, I think the players who play, they are loving it,' Infantino told Schultz. He referenced Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, captain of the English men's national team, who spoke fondly of the lively atmosphere he experienced on Friday night in Miami Gardens. That was thanks to Boca Juniors fans who made Hard Rock Stadium feel more like La Bombonera. 'Harry Kane gave an interview saying, 'It's a fantastic competition. It's beautiful',' Infantino said. 'They (players) love it. Those who are not there, of course, they would love to be there.' That match between Bayern and Boca is a positive sign for the potential a Club World Cup offers. Another is Brazilian club Botafogo beating European champions Paris Saint-Germain, one of the first major upsets. While the competition is considered Infantino's prized project, he believes a successful Club World Cup and men's World Cup have the potential to change the trajectory of the sport in America. 'The Club World Cup, and with the World Cup next year, is to show to young Americans that, actually, if you are good and if you are talented, you don't need to go to another sport, because through soccer, there is a path for glory and a path for money, as well,' Infantino said. 'You can become famous. You can become rich if you follow a soccer path, which today young Americans don't see. Because they see, of course, the NFL or the NBA or baseball or ice hockey, but we will show them here, in their country, the power of soccer.'
