Infantino has reached an agreement with the Japanese bank SoftBank, that leads a group of investors willing to spend 20,300 million euros in the competitions organized by FIFA in the next decade.

Barcelona to be part of?

The Spanish team has not been openly in favor of the new Club World Cup, but Jordi Cardoner, vice president of the Catalan club knows something that is: to pay the Messi, Luis Suárez and company must go to the Superleague and Superclub World Cup.

Format

The Club World Cup will be held every four years (although South America wants it to be every two) is designed for 24 teams in a new competition setup: eight groups of three teams.
