The note from the Asso Calciatori has arrived regarding the Club World Cup scheduled for next summer. The statement is clear: legal action against FIFA
It has not yet made its debut, with the new format a 32 teamsbut the discussions regarding the creation of the FIFA Club World Cupscheduled in the United States from 15 June to 13 July 2025, there are so many. A few days ago we witnessed the tough stance taken by Carlo Ancelotti, with the immediate clarification of Real Madrid, today it’s the turn of‘Ace Footballers, which with a statement clarifies its position regarding the competition.
In fact the AIC has decided to join PFA, UNFP And FIFPro Europe who “have initiated legal action against the FIFA, contesting the legitimacy of FIFA’s decisions to unilaterally set the calendar of international matches and, in particular, the decision to create and schedule the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.”
Club World Cup, president of Asso Calciatori: “Battle against exasperated competitive activity”
“The players’ unions – you can read again – believe that this decision violates the rights of the players and their unions enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and the competition law of theEU. Footballers and their unions have consistently highlighted that the current football calendar is overloaded and unworkable. The Italian footballers’ union, AIC, has decided to join this legal appeal against the FIFA at the Commercial Court of Brussels”
Thus come the declarations of the president ofAIC, which takes a clear position: “For years the Italian Footballers’ Association, together with FIFPro, has been waging a battle against exaggerated competitive activity. The top players, involved with the clubs in national and international competitions, play up to 70 matches a year, traveling more than 90 thousand kilometres. It is clear that we cannot imagine continuing at this pace”. In this proceeding, the AIC is represented by the law firm Dupont-Hissel. We remind you that the two Italian teams that should take part in the Club World Cup are theInter and the Juventus.
