Tebas said it was his "goal" to ensure that there were no more editions of the expanded month-long, 32-team version of the tournament.

The summer of soccer will take a new look this year with the FIFA Club World Cup, which comes to the U.S. for the first edition of the expanded competition that will see 32 teams from around the world compete for a share of the $1 billion prize purse.

FIFA claimed the Club World Cup would change football ‘for the better’, but the event has had an underwhelming start.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, two of the best clubs in the world, are showing their early dominance at the tournament. Meanwhile, some non-European squads, such as Brazilian club Palmeiras and Botafogo, are putting up strong performances to open the group stage.
