A major scandal is brewing in European football. The president of Spain's La Liga, Javier Tebas, announced that national football leagues are preparing a lawsuit against FIFA in the European Union court. Marca reports on this.
Details: Tebas mentioned that on Monday, a joint press conference will be held with representatives of FIFPro (International Federation of Professional Footballers), La Liga, and the English Premier League, during which they intend to express their dissatisfaction with FIFA's decisions. He emphasized that despite FIFA's decision to create a new Club World Cup, no national league agrees with this move.
Quote: "Now we have to accept the new Club World Cup because FIFA decided so. But no national league agrees with this," said Tebas.

Tebas expressed the opinion that global football should not be organized solely in the interests of 300 players and 20 clubs, as domestic leagues suffer from the new format of the Champions League. He also noted that FIFPro has recognized the importance of defending this issue on a global level.
Recall: Earlier, some players from top European clubs expressed their concerns about the overloaded calendar, but officials are not planning to address the situation.
