Spanish clubs like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are participating in the tournament, while Barcelona and Liverpool missed out. Tebas believes that the best solution is to eliminate the Club World Cup altogether. He argues that the competition disrupts the intense football calendar and diverts resources away from other teams and players.

When asked about potential changes to make the tournament more compatible with the existing calendar, Tebas stated that it's not possible. He believes that the tournament must be restructured or eliminated to maintain the sustainability of football. The current format, he says, is unsustainable and detrimental to the sport.

The Club World Cup will continue with teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Juventus competing over the next few days. Despite the high-profile matches, the tournament has struggled to attract a significant audience in the United States, with many stadiums only half full.
