The soap opera is over. The brand new, expanded Club World Cup, now featuring 32 teams, will be broadcast globally on DAZN across its platforms.

The tournament will take place from June 15 to July 13 in the United States. The drawing will take place next Thursday at 1:00 PM ET in Miami.

DAZN has emerged victorious in the battle to secure broadcast rights, which has had numerous twists and turns. FIFA was in negotiations with Apple TV and other operators, seeking revenues it deemed appropriate for the product.

However, these talks failed to produce an agreement, leaving DAZN to secure the deal for global coverage.

Although financial details were not disclosed, RMC estimates that DAZN paid €1 billion for the rights. With this amount, together with income from commercial partnerships and sponsorships, FIFA aims to meet the significant financial demands of participating clubs.

The exact distribution of funds remains unclear, but the European Club Association (ECA) negotiated with FIFA until the last minute to reach an agreement.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said he was “delighted to announce that FIFA, in partnership with DAZN and FIFA+, will bring the best of club football to the entire world for free, meaning every football fan around the world can watch the best football matches can view. players from the top 32 clubs will compete in the new FIFA Club World Cup to become the first official 'FIFA Club World Champions'.

“The new FIFA Club World Cup is a merit-based, inclusive tournament that will be the pinnacle of global club football and capture the imagination of players and fans around the world.”
