Club León's last ditch effort to keep their place in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup failed, as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled against the Liga MX club in their appeal of FIFA's decision to disqualify them from the competition.
Back in March, FIFA announced it's decision to remove León from the inaugural, new-look Club World Cup because the team is owned by Grupo Pachuca, the same group that owns fellow Liga MX side and Club World Cup participant, Pachuca. Multi-ownership is prohibited under Club World Cup regulations.
