Fifa in dispute with Adidas and Coca-Cola over Club World Cup sponsorship

Fifa wants to negotiate new deals for 2025 tournament
Cases in line to be heard at Swiss Arbitration Centre

Fifa is in dispute with its long-term partners Adidas and Coca-Cola over sponsorship rights for the Club World Cup next year in the US. Separate cases have been lodged at the Swiss Arbitration Centre in Zurich and are expected to be heard in the coming weeks, the Guardian understands.

Fifa has announced only one sponsor for a tournament that will feature 32 clubs in an expanded format backed heavily by its president, Gianni Infantino. That is believed to relate to disputes with Adidas and Coca-Cola over an agreement in their deals that Fifa will include them as official sponsors of all its competitions.
