Pachuca part ways with manager Almada before Club World Cup
CF Pachuca have parted ways with manager Guillermo Almada weeks before they kick off their Club World Cup campaign, the Mexican club said on Wednesday. Uruguayan Almada, who joined three-and-a-half years ago, led Pachuca to the CONCACAF Champions Cup title last year, sealing their place in the Club World Cup. Pachuca also reached the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in December, where they lost to Real Madrid. The manager bid an emotional farewell to players, staff and directors on Wednesday, Pachuca said in a statement, without giving a reason for his departure. In March, FIFA said Liga MX sides Pachuca and Club Leon had failed to meet criteria on multi-club ownership and removed Leon from the Club World Cup. The Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected Leon's appeal against the removal earlier this month. Pachuca's spot in the 32-team Club World Cup, set to kick off in the U.S. on June 14, was unaffected.

FIFA to stage playoff for final Club World Cup spot after Leon disqualified
LOS ANGELES, May 7 — Fifa today confirmed it will hold a playoff between Los Angeles FC and Mexican giants America to decide the final berth at next month's Club World Cup following the expulsion of Club Leon. The decision to stage a playoff game was announced after the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed appeals from Leon, CF Pacucha and Costa Rica's Alajuelense. The move follows the decision to oust Leon from the Club World Cup — which is being held across the US from June 14 to July 13 — because the club is owned by Grupo Pachuca, which also controls Liga MX side Pachuca, who are also taking part in the tournament. LAFC advanced to the playoff on the basis of finishing as runners-up to Leon in the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League. America were chosen as their replacements due to their status as the 'top-ranked team' in confederation rankings. The winner of the playoff will line up in Group D of the Club World Cup, where they will face Premier League side Chelsea, Brazil's Flamengo and Esperance Tunis of Tunisia. No date and venue for the LAFC-America playoff has been set, Fifa said. — AFP
