What we were not aware of at the time was the progress of the Super League project, exposed in April 2021, which in retrospect explains the alliances of the time – evidently of interest – and the subsequent breakdown of the same, with a readjustment also due to what happened with the pandemic. In this sense, it should also be noted that, probably with a strategic intent, in the period of the crisis due to the aforementioned coming out of the Super League, FIFA avoided promoting the return of the idea of the Mundial de Clubes, on the contrary causing discussion for the proposal, which never really became concrete, to organize the World Cup (the one for national teams) not every four years, but every two. The Financial Timesat the time, published an in-depth study in which, under the title «The battle to control football», it was argued that the plan to organize the World Cup every two years was part of a battle to understand whether the big clubs or the national teams would have the upper hand, therefore to synthesize UEFA or FIFA. In reality, that project was a weapon of distraction: FIFA was looking for something else, the clubs, and proof of this is that the Mundial de Clubes, in the end, from the point of view of the calendar, actually takes the place of an event for national teams, the never-too-loved Confederations Cup.
