La Liga president vows to fight to wipe out FIFA Club World Cup

TPO - At a recent La Liga event, La Liga President Javier Tebas criticized the FIFA Club World Cup and said that this tournament should not have existed.

"Get rid of it," La Liga President Javier Tebas stressed when asked about how to improve the FIFA Club World Cup, "I know what I have to do, and I will fight so that this tournament is not held again."

According to the President of La Liga, there is no right time for an unnecessary tournament, because it disrupts the current football ecosystem. Obviously, the appearance of the FIFA Club World Cup makes the schedule dense, the players do not get rest and causes problems in the transfer market. "The best way is to keep the football world as it is," he said.

Javier Tebas recently said that the FIFA Club World Cup is "completely meaningless" and "harmful to national championships". "FIFA forces federations to adapt without consulting us. I wonder how Real and Atletico will be able to play the new season? If they go deep in the tournament that ends in mid-July, how will they rest and prepare when the new season starts in mid-August," he shared.

Javier Tebas was also very frank when he declared that he had no plans to follow the FIFA Club World Cup. "I haven't watched a single match. Honestly, I took a quick look at the Chelsea match (against Los Angeles) and it looked like a summer friendly. I didn't see any tension on the pitch. The players were just running around, at least for the 25 minutes I was in front of the screen," he said.

The La Liga president is known for his stance on protecting the integrity of the football system that has existed for many years. In addition to opposing the FIFA Club World Cup, he has also repeatedly criticized Real President Florentino Perez for his intention to organize the Super League.

In an interview on Tuesday, Javier Tebas continued his attack on Perez: "He is trying to defend a Super League that will destroy national leagues. In the last four years he has launched three different formats. That shows that the Super League was not carefully considered, but was created by arbitrary proposals."
