Are you under the impression that international organizations are somehow able to ignore the laws of the various countries in which they are active?

Am I to assume that the Spanish Supercupa is considered a friendly since they're doing it in Saudi Arabia now?

I assume this has a bit to do with college athletics and those recent court cases. Just like athletes have a right to get NIL, FIFA’s restrictions on certain matches are against US law which supersedes FIFA. Teams barred from playing are able to sue FIFA in US court for antitrust damages
