FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is just a couple of months away, and the excitement among fans has risen. The tournament, which starts in June, will feature a lot of world-class players. Leo Messi will be the prime reason for the viewership to go high. When we talk about the broadcasting details of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, there were a lot of companies that gave their bid. DAZN, in the end, won it for a whooping estimated €1 billion.
Broadcasters play an important role as they give the fans the experience from their home. Their simple job is to connect and give easy access to the fans who couldn’t attend the game. With new technologies coming day by day, replays, graphical stats, and in-game events have made the person watching understand the game more clearly.
After waiting for a long time, broadcasters were not meeting FIFA’s expectations. It was said Apple was also interested and had sent their bid, but FIFA rejected it. They felt the amount was very low.

In an interview, Gianni Infantino, FIFA President, said:
I am delighted to announce that FIFA, in partnership with DAZN and FIFA+, will bring the best of club football for free to everywhere in the world, meaning that every single football fan across the globe can watch the best players from the 32 best clubs compete in the new FIFA Club World Cup to be the first official ‘FIFA Club World Champions.
The new FIFA Club World Cup is a merit-based, inclusive tournament that will be the pinnacle of global club football, capturing the imagination of players and fans across the world. Through this broadcasting agreement, billions of football fans worldwide can now watch what will be the most widely accessible club football tournament ever – and for free. Football Unites the World.
The tournament has also faced a lot of criticism as players have to play extra matches. In the previous season, it used to end in June, if you are playing the Champions League finals. If a team is playing every possible tournament, for example, Real Madrid players will tend to have injuries, which can destroy their next season.
