Apple are reportedly close to agreeing a deal with FIFA that would see the tech company win the worldwide television rights for the new, revised Club World Cup competition.

The New York Times report that this landmark deal could be worth more than $1billion as Apple look to take their next step into the world of live sports.

I have heard a little about the club world cup, but mostly negative and that the clubs, at least in Europe, do not want to be a part of.

Everyone wants a piece of the sport. Too many games, too many competitions means a lot more injuries.

Yeah... This isn't something I'd sink a billion dollars into.
