FIFA President Gianni Infantino has just declared the upcoming Club World Cup in the U.S. as a "grand indicator" of his successful leadership, mainly because he managed to convince 32 clubs to come to America without getting lost on the way. The tournament is set to feature matches in 11 cities, because Infantino wanted to see each major U.S. city before he retires and writes a travel blog.
Infantino's "grand indicator" also involves a new trophy that's so luxurious, teams are competing just to take it home and pawn it for rent money. The event promises to bring a global audience together, mainly because everyone wants to see if Infantino can finally pronounce "soccer" correctly. The tournament will conclude with a grand finale at MetLife Stadium, where the winner will be awarded not just the trophy but also an autographed picture of Infantino smiling.
