The 32 participants in the first edition in the new format of the World Club Champion, which will start at night in the US and will end on July 13, will be presented as in NBA. The players enters the field one by one, while the stadium's cake announces the name of each team holder.
FIFA has been concerned about all the details so that, at least from the point of view of the show, the competition in the United States is a success, even if the stands will not be full or whether the level of games will not resonate with the expectations of fans and journalists.
Captain will conclude the individual presentation string of holders
For at least the debut to attract all eyes and impress the assistance, from the stadiums and in front of the TVs, The Supreme Football Forum came with a premiere at this level. The presentation of the teams will be done according to the model used in NBA, American Forbal and other sports on this continent, if the new XXL tournament was still awarded the US for organization.
Great teams from all over the world will come, which excite a lot of people. We are talking about big teams, with very important players that people want to see. It's the first time for us, a new and different tournament, and that's why it's an excellent opportunity to enjoy the best football here in the United States

The players passed by the two coaches on the start list will enter the field one by one, as are processed in Europe at the ceremonies for trophies winners. Not in a row, one behind the other, as usual.

The Arena Crainian will announce the name of each of the 22 holders. Finally, the team captain will conclude the presentation and align his colleagues at the center of the field. Innovation should make the father-in-law more popular among traditional North American sports. In principle, this style of entry of the actors will be applied for all the matches in the first stage of the groups.
We want to offer an opportunity to clubs around the world. In fact, it is about the globalization of football. It is said to be the number 1 sport and it is, but the elite is concentrated in a limited number of clubs and countries. I am convinced that, from the moment the ball begins to roll on the field, the whole world will figure out what is happening here. Will be something special
