Marca: Spain is interested in bidding for the 2029 Club World Cup, and the chairman of the Spanish Football Association arrives in the United States to meet FIFA
Spanish Football Association President Rafael Luzan arrived in North America early this week to meet with Spanish teams and FIFA officials. This trip not only includes a series of conferences and commercial activities, but more importantly, experience the atmosphere of the Club World Cup and conclude that if there is a chance, Spain will strive to hold the second event under this new competition system.
Unlike the previous Federation Cup, the Club World Cup is an independent event and does not have to be tied to the host country of the World Cup. In fact, Mexico and Canada are not involved in the organization of this Club World Cup.
The United States has been the ideal venue for European teams' summer friendly matches for years, prompting them to hope to create this new event. As Marca said, the competition has gained a foothold. The test was effective this time, and Lusaen and his team also realized the huge impact of holding such an event in Spain. They have expressed to FIFA that Spain is interested in bidding for the 2029 Club World Cup. The current event was determined less than a year ago, and the next session will have more time to prepare and open up bidding opportunities to interested countries.
At the meeting, Luzan also asked FIFA questions about the Spanish referee's absence from this Club World Cup. The unstable performance of the Spanish referee is one of the main reasons, but it is worth mentioning that two Spanish referees served as VAR referees, namely Hernandez and del Cerro Grande. A new referee system will be announced next week, in addition to the main person in charge, will also involve all aspects from promotion standards to information officer work (the latter will be taken over by artificial intelligence), and the current standards are considered outdated. The core goal is to find the best referees in Spain, rather than to promote through "relationships".
On July 1, the schedules of leagues of all levels will be announced, including La Liga and all professional or semi-professional events, such as the First, Second and Third Federal Leagues. All groups will have asymmetrical arrangements and will be released in San Juan de La Nava, Avila.
