Negotiations between Apple and FIFA regarding the broadcasting rights for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have stalled. Apple had offered $1 billion for worldwide streaming rights on Apple TV+, which is significantly less than FIFA's expectations. The talks' stagnation raises concerns about the future of the high-profile competition. Additionally, clubs have pushed back against lower financial incentives associated with the new tournament, further complicating the situation. FIFA is also considering selling US tournament rights to other broadcasters.
