Obviously there will be a lot of people who hate this, and those who say what FIFA is doing is legitimate can be sure they are part of it and benefit personally.
This clearly hurts fair play in football, and isn't that what should be upheld?
Why is there a policy or regulation if they are the ones who violate it? better there is no policy or regulation at all.
I know that business in football is not a new thing, but that business must benefit all parties, not instead there are other parties who feel disadvantaged.
I don't know why everyone is surprised by this decision. Actually, the FIFA reserves a maximum of up to €7.5 million for one play up to 365 days, which equates to €20,548 per day for an injured player if they get injured during the World Cup qualification games during the 2023-2026 period.
All of this can be read here.
This has nothing to do with giving an advantage to Barcelona exclusively. This is an agreed upon program established by the FIFA after reaching consensus among all participants. The program is called the "
Club Protection Program".
You see these European Competitions and games are so overwhelming and suffocating, they have lead to too many games played seeing players fatigued and stressed leading to long term injuries too. I feel dad for Barcelona and most importantly Gavi who will miss the rest of the season and the chance to play in his first Euro's for Spanish national team.
Gavi is not the only player who has been given this exact fee for having been Injured, same share has also being assigned to Camavinga who was also Injured during the international break. Both positions in the different clubs will miss this players both. Real Madrid also have sent his heart felt sympathies to be strong.
