Why FIFA’s search of ‘new deal’ for Club World Cup may be ‘bad news’ for Apple

FIFA’s $1 billion Apple TV+ deal for Club World Cup streaming fell through, with problems attracting NBC and Fox Sports. The subscription model faced criticism from Ricardo Fort. Instead, FIFA seeks regional broadcasters for the 2025 and 2029 tournaments (June 15-July 13). Bids due August 20. US media valued rights at $30 million.
