La Liga and Javier Tebas at War with the Club World Cup!
La Liga has raised its voice against the newly expanded Club World Cup currently taking place in the United States. La Liga president Javier Tebas is not holding back, declaring: “I will do everything to get this tournament canceled!”
Why so much hate? The 32-team tournament wreaks havoc on the schedule, destroys the club calendar, and overloads players. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid represent Spain in this competition, but while Atletico has already been eliminated in the group stage, Real has reached the quarterfinals and could play until July 13, meaning they will practically lose their entire preseason rest.
Tebas has made it clear that neither Real nor Atletico will receive any scheduling privileges due to their participation in the Club World Cup. “The tournament creates imbalance in competition because of the money clubs receive. Real can earn up to 140 million euros, which is double the budget of smaller clubs like Alaves. And then they ask for extra rest days! That’s unacceptable,” Tebas said.
La Liga has already announced the schedule for the season starting August 16 and ending May 24, with a short break for the World Cup in Qatar. Tebas’ message is clear: La Liga will not adjust its schedule for the FIFA tournament, which in his opinion threatens the regularity of the domestic competition.
As Real Madrid progresses in the tournament, tensions will only rise. The quarterfinal match against Borussia Dortmund is looming, and the question is how much Real can endure this brutal schedule without proper rest.
Is this the end of football as we know it?
The Club World Cup is designed as a spectacle but at the expense of traditional leagues and players. Real Madrid can earn huge money but at the cost of player health and fair competition. La Liga and Tebas are ready to fight to the end to preserve the integrity of Spanish football.
Ban it or adapt?
Is canceling the tournament the right move, or should FIFA find a compromise? Real Madrid and other big clubs are tempted by money, but what about smaller clubs and players? This is a real drama just beginning.
If you have an opinion on this madness, drop a comment below! Is Javier Tebas a hero or just another power player defending his turf? Or did FIFA mess up? Let’s laugh, argue, and maybe find a solution together!
Summary: Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, sharply criticizes the newly expanded Club World Cup held in the USA. He claims the tournament disrupts the calendar, overloads players, and creates unfairness as clubs like Real Madrid can earn huge sums of money while demanding extra privileges. La Liga will not adjust its schedule for this tournament, meaning Real Madrid may be left without rest before the new season. Tebas is determined to do everything to cancel the tournament, believing it threatens the regularity of domestic competition and football balance.
