Fans have slammed FIFA following the release of the logo for the new Club World Cup.
The tournament, which will include teams such as Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City, will run for the first time from June 15 to July 13 in 2025 and will be marketed as the best of the best slugging it out across the United States.
It will differ from the traditional Club World Cup, which has seen the champions of each continent's premier competition do battle during a short period of the season.
As the tournament nears, it has been pushed on social media, and the new logo was revealed on Wednesday - though it has not gone down well with fans.

Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to mcok the logo, which was revealed in a short video
The logo is shown to be gold, featuring the letters 'CWC' formed in a somewhat circle.
It was revealed in a 42-second video on social media, which featured the names and logos of all the clubs that will compete in it next year.
It also included the song 'Freed from Desire' by Gala Rizzatto.
One fan posted on X, formerly Twitter, in response to the logo: 'The MGM Lion going to come out the middle?' seemingly in reference to Hollywood film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's logo.
Another wrote: 'Freed from Desire was played every day (and every night) at the Olympics. Reached a point where reporters who were at the venues every single day got sick of it.'
There have been criticisms of the competition surrounding how it further strains players with the footballing calendar already bursting at the seams.

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has claimed the competition will be 'bigger than the World Cup itself'
Al-Khelaifi, however, said earlier this year: 'The Club World Cup will be bigger than the World Cup itself, I promise you.
'It's an amazing competition, the FIFA World Cup. I'm proud of my players for their national teams. But the Club World Cup will be something different, something bigger with the fanbases of 32 clubs worldwide brought together.
