Club World Cup - Summer 2025

I believe there are special dispensation rules in place for contracts due to expire mid tournament.
I don't doubt there is from a Fifa and registration point of view, but the players get paid their July wages as severance if they are not retained, so just normal wages isn't worthwhile. If they are due to sign for another club the new club could block them too.

In reality it depends if the players really want to play in it or have the summer off before moving to warmer climates for a bonus year or two.

I think in the case of KDB & IG, IF(and this is a BIG IF) they have a chance of winning it, they will want to play and add it to their achievements.
 
New cheaper tickets released, you can get a refund for the ones you have already bought.
 
New pricing is more palatable. Would be nice to know if every club got the same pricing because I can’t imagine to many fans paying over 2k for the premium seats for a final that at the moment nobody cares about. This would be different if the competition was established like champions league. Anyway, purchased a $300 ticket.
 
Thanks - have emailed them and shall post if I get a reply.
As it happens - I was sent an email with an access code.
I assume it has nothing to do with my query and other people who did the same as me got the codes.

Chelsea got the same pricing - so we can assume everyone did.
The pricing is back to being palatable.
Am a bit annoyed as I would have had everything booked in December but was gobsmacked by the prices. Ah well - I have two weeks to decide before the code expires (24th Feb)

I will be shocked if they don’t extend deadline again. Guessing interest is really low
 
I think we’ll be able to rest the lads in April & May with nothing to play for, as long as we’re not fighting relegation due to a points deduction [emoji15] [emoji848]
If that's the plan we need to build at least 12 point gap in the top 4.

If we're in a relegation battle we might as well go down as well be on Tele every week next season.

Chelsea finished sixth or so last year.....hardly a representation.

Feels off if dips and goons aren't involved.
They were selected us because their coefficient. At the time they had just won it.

This tournament would be all over the media had any of the redshirts been in it and the games would be on ITV/BBC not shunted onto DAZN.
 
It is the same timings as any other international tournament but only affects 2 PL clubs, you can't delay the whole PL as it is already finishing when it needs to for the 2026 world cup.

If they wanted to help they would allow bigger squads to reflect the additional games and lack of breaks from 2023 to 2027.
