Revealed: Why Man Utd and Liverpool are not happy as Chelsea will wear Club World Cup badge on shirts for rest of season
The Blues beat Palmeiras 2-1 in the final in Abu Dhabi, wore the badge on their away shirts at Palace on Saturday but thought it was only a one-off.
However, League bosses agree with Chelsea that having the title of world champions is positive for English football and the rules – which banned changes to a kit during the season – have been bent a little.
Meanwhile, according to The SUN, it was revealed why Manchester united and Liverpool are not happy with the decision on Chelsea wearing the badge for the rest of the season.
When Liverpool won the Club World Cup in Qatar in 2019, they were only allowed to wear the badge once in a clash at home to Wolves.
United were refused permission after they won the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup, the first time an English club won the tournament.
The badge will not be on Chelsea’s shirts for the Champions League game at home to Lille but will be in place for the next Premier League clash away to Burnley on March 5.
Other teams in Europe such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have worn the badge after their successes in the Club World Cup and Chelsea will be allowed to wear it until the end of the next FIFA tournament, although the date for that has yet to be decided.
