Real Madrid's threat to boycott the Club World Cup, made by coach Carlo Ancelotti and later denied by the Spanish club, made public an issue that has been discussed for some time behind the scenes in football: the project for the new tournament of FIFA is not as solid as it seems.
One year before the opening of the first edition, scheduled to be played in the months of June and July 2025, in the United States, the organization is struggling to raise the necessary money to become interesting to the biggest European powers and compete in the UEFA Champions League.
Despite the promise of bringing together several of the biggest stars in current football, the Super World Cup has still not managed to sell its broadcasting rights ( there are advanced negotiations with Apple, it's true, but the hammer hasn't been struck yet) and it hasn't even announced any specific sponsorship contract. In other words, there is zero revenue.
And FIFA needs money coming in because it can convince teams with already very swollen calendars to compete One more competition (and precisely during the period when they would go on vacation, in the case of the Europeans) doesn't cost much.
The first rumors regarding the global tournament indicated that each participating team would receive a fee of 50 million euros (R$ 115.2 million), more than double the prize paid by UEFA to the winner of the Champions League and enough to convince any club that playing in the Super World Cup is a good idea.
In the controversial interview published yesterday by the Italian "Il Giornale", Ancelotti states that this amount has already been reduced and that Real would earn "only" 20 million euros (R$ 115.2 million) to compete in the competition.
In However, several European press outlets have claimed that the remuneration paid by FIFA will be even lower, at 10 million euros (R$57.6 million). b>
In yesterday's interview, Ancelotti stated that Real would refuse the invitation to compete in the World Cup and that it would probably be followed by other clubs due to the low prize money promised by FIFA. As soon as the statement began to generate controversy, the current European champion published an official note denying his coach and stating that his participation in the tournament "was never questioned".
In a second moment, after the When Real's statement was broadcast, Ancelotti said that his words were "misinterpreted" and that he would not reject "the possibility of playing in a tournament that I consider a great opportunity to continue fighting for great titles".

On Saturday afternoon (28), Flamengo held its last training session before facing Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. A clash that could decide the future of coach Tite at Mengão, was attended by all the players considered to be starters, despite the expectation of a mixed team for Sunday (29).
In content published on social media of Flamengo, names like Bruno Henrique and Alex Sandro, who were starters in the Libertadores elimination, last Thursday (26), appear alongside young fledglings, such as Matheus Gonçalves and Evertton, who have been widely used in the “reserve team ” by Tite.
With his destiny becoming more uncertain at Flamengo, Tite may having led his last training session as coach of Rubro-Negro. There are four games without a win, a bad result, or poorly presented football against Athletico-PR, could mean the end of the line for the coach, just under a year after his arrival.
In the semi-finals of Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians, and in the G4 of the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro's objective is clear, to become CdB champion, and remain in the classification zone for the next Libertadores in the points championship.
