💨 Abstract

Major League Soccer and its players’ union are in dispute over player compensation for the Club World Cup. The union claims the league's proposal offers inadequate participation bonuses and unrelated concessions. MLS counters that it has proposed performance-based compensation, potentially rewarding players with over $24 million if an MLS team wins. Frontline players have voiced their demand for a fairer share. The Club World Cup, featuring 32 teams across 11 U.S. cities, is set to begin soon.
