Mexican side Club Leon have been kicked out of the Club World Cup later this year after failing to satisfy Fifa’s rules around multi-club ownership.
Leon and their Liga MX rival CF Pachuca are owned by Grupo Pachuca and both were set to compete in this summer’s expanded Club World Cup but article 10.1 of the tournament regulations states that no club participating in the competition may directly or indirectly hold or deal in the securities or shares of any other club participating in the competition.
