The world football association FIFA announced on Saturday the venues for the new Club World Cup in the summer of 2025 in the USA, in which an Austrian club, the series champions Red Bull Salzburg, who were dethroned this year, will also take part for the first time.
The gala at the “Global Citizen Festival” in New York’s Central Park begins at 5:50 p.m. local time (11:50 p.m. CEST), and FIFA wrote on Friday evening that it was a “milestone” for the reformed tournament.
High signing bonus
The Club World Cup will be held in the USA from June 15th to July 13th for the first time with 32 clubs. Twelve teams from Europe are taking part. The fact that Salzburg received one of the coveted places is thanks to its Champions League performances in recent years and the fact that the ranking allows a maximum of two teams per regional association. The signing bonus is a sum in the mid double-digit million euro range.
Locations on the US East Coast are particularly being discussed as venues. So far, it is not only unclear where the games will be played, but also where the 63 games will be broadcast on television. FIFA has jointly tendered the European broadcast rights for the 2025 and 2029 tournaments.
