💨 Abstract

The Club World Cup faces skepticism and logistical challenges but aims to captivate with star power and unique matchups. Critics question its necessity so close to the World Cup, while broadcasters and fans have shown reluctance. FIFA has secured funding and high-profile participators, like Inter Miami for Lionel Messi and hints of Cristiano Ronaldo, despite initial struggles. Emerging stars and unexpected teams, coupled with the allure of elite club clashes, might salvage the tournament's prospects and attract an audience.
