Monday of next week, Club León will present the tests of its FIFA appeal, seeking to be again an official participant of the 2025 Club World Cup.
The first audience already took place on April 23, but that corresponded to the appeal of the Alajuelense Sports League of Costa Rica, which demands its participation instead of the James Rodríguez team.
The appointment of the next May 5 is the case filed by Club León before the statement in which the FIFA expelled them from the Club World Cup under the concept of multipropiety.
JOINT DECISION
Once the arguments of each of the parties are heard, the TAS judges will sit down to deliberate and make a decision regarding the case that has several teams involved in suspense, including the members of Group D in which León was sown: Chelsea, Flamengo and Esperance.
To give clarity about its ruling, the court would have made the decision to unify the two cases and Give a single sentence that will be known the same day.
Alajuelense expected the resolution to his resource to be known before the Audience of Club León, but that would generate more questions about it.
According to the journalist Paco Vela, Fuentes confirmed that The tas will give the decision about both hearings at the time and that way will allow the Club World Cup to dispute without changes in the official calendar.
At this time there is no clear date to know the final decision, however, it should be released during the month of May, before the day on which the FIFA plans to dispute the playoff of classification between Los Angeles FC of the United States and America of Mexico.
Repechaje waiting
And this party already has a date and stage determined by FIFA, according to the information that was known in recent days.
The date chosen by FIFA is May 21, 2025 And it will be played at the Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The only change that could occur is that America advances until the final of the MX League and, therefore, cannot meet the day of the game. Only in that case the date would be modified for May 28, in the same scenario.
Although the Mexican press ensures that this is already a decision made in the FIFA barracks, the official announcement will not be made until the TAS judgment will be known.
All this follows from the words of the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, who had confirmed the two aspirants to the ticket that is without owner. “What is being seen is that if the TAS confirms the decision of the Appeal Committee, the intention of FIFA is to play a game, a playoff, among the team that lost the final of the Concacaf Champions (LAFC) and the following team in the rankingwhich is America ”, were the words of the leader.
