Club León kicked out of Fifa Club World Cup
Club León will be removed from the Club World Cup later this year as it and another Mexican club in the tournament, CF Pachuca, failed to meet criteria on multi-club ownership.
“Fifa has determined that Club León will be removed from the competition, with the club to be admitted as a replacement to be announced in due course,” Fifa said in a statement.
Pachuca’s spot at the 14 June to 13 July competition in the US is unaffected. Here’s the group León were in. Meanwhile, Léon are not the only club with multi-club ownership; Manchester City are part of such a structure.
