After the controversial choice to invite Inter Miami of Lionel Messi as a representative of the host country (at the expense of the last two MLS champions), FIFA offers another American club to participate in the Club World Cup organized from June 14 to July 13 in the United States. It could be the Los Angeles of Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud!
The Sports Arbitral Tribunal rejected the Call of the Léon club, excluded by FIFA of the Club World Cup due to the rules of multi -ownership. The Léon club indeed belongs to a group which also owns Pachuca, another Mexican club which competes for the international tournament. Alajuelense (Costa Rica) denounced the situation with the job but was not allowed to replace the Léon club.
FIFA thus formalized the holding of an improbable dam between the LAFC, unhappy finalist of the Champions League of Concacaf against Léon in 2023 (without Lloris and Giroud at the time), and the club America, the club best classified in this Confederation. According to Givemesportthe Californians will receive the meeting in their stadium on May 31.
Giroud against Chelsea?
The winner of this Playoff will integrate group D of the Club World Cup and start two weeks later against Chelsea, on June 16 in Atlanta. For reunion between Giroud and one of his former clubs? The Hope of Tunis and Flamengo (where Gerson evolves) are the other two teams of this hen.
The two legends of the French team, 2018 World Champions, evolve with two other natives of France, the Luxembourg international Maxime Chanot and the Gabonese international Denis Bouanga, as well as the former Marseillais Cangiz ünder. Giroud, in great difficulty since his arrival in MLS last year, stayed on the sidelines in the last match against Houston.
