Today on 'Things Nobody Wants or Asked for' (like my posts): FIFA is expanding the Club World Cup, an absolute sham of competition, to 24 teams and hosting it in motherfucking China. These people have absolutely zero shame. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/oct/24/fifa-china-host-24-team-club-world-cup-2021-human-rights

I have to wonder how that is going to work. The only way people will be interested is if there are multiple UEFA teams participating, and there is no way UEFA will schedule around having their top teams being in China for 2-3 weeks in the middle of the season. You could possibly do it in the summer, but you would have to deal with international matchdays and everybody would just treat the matches as meaningless preseason friendlies.

Knowing how they operate, I bet the real "settlement" was somehow even worse - like FIFA somehow is paying or promoting HIS interests in some sketchy scheme by funneling African youth players to PSG, "opening a grass roots development" across the Emirates or covering up literal dead bodies from some white elephant project.

I mean yeah that much is all well documented already, he's a member of the UEFA executive committee and he owns beIN who spent a shitload on tv rights for the world cup, and his purchase of PSG was given the green light by Sarkozy in return for France and UEFA supporting Qatar's bid for the world cup
