'Eliminate it!' - Javier Tebas reveals goal to destroy Club World Cup and make this year's the last as La Liga chief sees FIFA's revamped tournament as major threat to 'sustainability of football'

<p>La Liga president Tebas is not at all on board with the ongoing Club World Cup organised by FIFA, revealing that he will be working towards "eliminating" the tournament as the revamped version is a major threat to the "sustainability of football."</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>FIFA <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/fifa-club-world-cup-2025-schedule-teams-tickets-format/bltf0f055146b3da38d" target="_blank">revamped the Club World Cup with a new format</a>, which sees <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/club-world-cup-could-get-even-bigger-fifa-to-weigh-up-expanding-new-tournament-amid-pressure-from-teams-who-failed-to-qualify-for-usd1-billion-contest/blt1d02f4bc83955cc1" target="_blank">32 teams from all confederations contesting</a> in the group stages followed by knockout stages, much like the World Cup. Originally, the Club World Cup would be held right before the end of the year or right after the turn of the year, with just the winners of the premier continental competitions organised by each of the six confederations participating in the tournament.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking at a football industry event, Tebas was asked how FIFA can revise the current Club World Cup. Tebas responded: "By eliminating it. My goal is to ensure there are no more Club World Cups, that's very clear to me."</p><p>He was then asked whether there was a way to make the tournament more compatible with the rest of the calendar. Tebas explained: "There are no dates. There's no need for yet another competition that moves money to a sector of clubs and players and comes from somewhere. There's no more money here; we have to maintain the ecosystem and eliminate it. Keep it as it was before, which was a weekend. There's no way, neither in terms of dates, nor economics, nor maintaining the sustainability of football."</p>

WHAT JAVIER TEBAS SAID

<p>There has been quite some criticism regarding the Club World Cup, which will now take place every four years. The competition is believed to take a toll on the players' physical conditions, with games scheduled at noon and 3pm kick-off times under the scorching heat of the USA sun. In fact, PSG boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/suffering-luis-enrique-vitinha-lead-complaints-intense-heat-club-world-cup-kick-off-atletico-madrid/bltbf3d3a9573b05a0c#cs0fe1a69b686018fd" target="_blank">Luis Enrique slammed the scheduling of the games</a> following his side's 4-0 hammering of Atletico Madrid.</p>
