💨 Abstract

France's soccer players' union, UNFP, criticized the Club World Cup, stating it's urgent to stop the event due to extreme player workloads. They accused FIFA President Gianni Infantino of ignoring player health. The tournament, involving 32 teams, starts amid concerns over injuries and burnout, with key players like those from Paris Saint-Germain already fatigued from previous commitments. The UNFP emphasizes that such an exhaustive schedule could impact national teams and future competitions.
