Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has criticized the current leadership of the organization, expressing concern over its recent direction.
The 89-year-old Swiss to The Athletic:
Sepp Blatter
We have lost football to Saudi Arabia. We offered it and they took it. Surprisingly, there is no opposition to this within FIFA.
It’s worth noting that Joseph Blatter served as FIFA president from 1998 to 2015, and the organization is currently led by 55-year-old Italian Gianni Infantino.
Joseph Blatter about the Club World Cup
There’s too much football. The same players and clubs are repeatedly affected, without adequate rest. It’s always the same clubs, the same players, who should be resting. They’ve played in a sweltering summer — it’s harmful and irresponsible.
The Club World Cup took place in the USA from June 14 to July 13, with Chelsea defeating PSG 3-0 in the final.
Recently, FIFA also addressed the issue of mandatory holidays for players.
