Italian Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, stated that his team will not participate in the upcoming and novel Club World Cup and added that, like the white club, there will be several more teams that will decline participation.
“FIFA can forget about it; the players and the clubs will not participate in that tournament. A single Real Madrid match is worth 20 million, and FIFA wants to give us that amount for the entire cup. Negative. Like us, other clubs will reject the invitation,” he said in an interview with ‘Il Giornale’ about the tournament, which will be held in the summer of 2025 in the United States.
