FIFA signs another Saudi deal with sovereign wealth fund PIF backing Club World Cup
FILE - FIFA President Gianni Infantino gestures toward the FIFA Club World Cup soccer trophy during a news conference at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Monday, April 14, 2025, to discuss the upcoming 2025 Club World Cup which is to be hosted by Atlanta this summer. (Miguel Martinez/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP, File) GENEVA (AP) — FIFA took another Saudi Arabian investment Thursday for the U.S.-hosted Club World Cup, announcing a top-tier commercial deal with the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, which holds majority ownership of one of the 32 teams playing. The Saudi state's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is the 75% owner of Riyadh club Al-Hilal, one of four teams in the national league it has controlled since 2023. PIF also created the LIV Golf project. Advertisement FIFA said PIF was an official partner of the June 14-July 13 tournament being played in 11 American cities, though the value of the deal was not stated. Saudi state money also is effectively funding the Club World Cup broadcasting deal that has largely backed the $1 billion tournament prize fund being shared among the 32 teams, including Al-Hilal, which will get an entry payment of $9.55 million. FIFA announced a global broadcast deal for the Club World Cup with streaming service DAZN in December, two days before confirming Saudi Arabia as host of the men's 2034 World Cup. A widely speculated Saudi investment in DAZN, reported to be around $1 billion, was confirmed several weeks later. Advertisement FIFA also signed Saudi state oil company Aramco to a World Cup sponsor this year. The U.S. is hosting the first 32-team Club World Cup which will played every four years by teams that won an edition of a continental club championship, or ranked highly by results over the four-year qualifying period. Inter Miami, with star player Lionel Messi, was invited by FIFA to represent the host nation. Al-Hilal won the Asian Champions League in 2021 and was drawn by FIFA in a group with Real Madrid, Pachuca and Salzburg. The Club World Cup has become a personal project of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who has built close ties since 2018 to Saudi Arabia and its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the chairman of PIF.

Trump also has worked closely with the LIV Golf tour. ___ AP soccer:

Club World Cup legal dispute between FIFA and Mexican team Leon set for CAS verdict Tuesday
FIFA President Gianni Infantino gestures toward the FIFA World Cup soccer trophy during a news conference at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Monday, April 14, 2025, to discuss the upcoming 2025 Club World Cup which is to be hosted by Atlanta this summer. (Miguel Martinez/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP) LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — A verdict is expected Tuesday in Mexican team Leon's legal dispute with FIFA over entry to the Club World Cup in the United States next month. The Court of Arbitration for Sport is hosting León's appeal Monday which aims to overturn expulsion by FIFA because the club is in the same ownership group as Pachuca, another Mexican team that qualified for the 32-team tournament that starts June 14. Advertisement CAS said Monday it aims to give the urgent verdict of its judges on Tuesday in Lausanne. Soccer's world body is preparing to replace Leon with a one-off playoff game between Los Angeles FC and another Mexican team América if CAS rules in its favor. FIFA rules for the Club World Cup to protect tournament integrity prohibit more than one team having the same owners. León and Pachuca qualified for the Club World Cup by respectively winning the 2023 and 2024 editions of the continental championship for the North American region, known as CONCACAF. Both clubs owned by Grupo Pachuca were placed in different four-team groups at the tournament draw hosted by FIFA in Miami in December despite the multi-club ownership issue being unresolved. Advertisement León was drawn to play Chelsea in Atlanta on June 16, then Esperance from Tunisia in Nashville and Flamengo of Brazil in Orlando. FIFA judges then excluded León in a ruling in March, deciding that the clubs' ownership structure 'clearly indicates centralized decision-making under a single authority, which is inconsistent with FIFA's principles of competitive integrity and operational independence.' The entry being fought over by lawyers is worth an initial $9.55 million payment from FIFA plus a share of the $1 billion in total prize money, depending on results in the group stage and knockout rounds. The Club World Cup lineup includes teams that won a continental championship over a four season period from 2020-24 or who had a high ranking from consistent results in those competitions. FIFA also invited Lionel Messi's Inter Miami to represent the host nation. ___ AP soccer:
