The plan is for the tournament to be with 32 teams from all around the world

The first ever 32-club Club World Cup will take place between June and July 2025 in the United States, reports suggest. It will be played every 4 years just like the World Cup, Euros, Copa America and all continental national tournaments.

32 teams will be divided in 8 groups from which each top 2 teams will advance to knockout stages.

12 clubs from UEFA qualify to the competition. They will be the CL winners of the last four editions (Chelsea, Real Madrid and Man City+2023/24 CL winner), with the remaining 8 clubs to be picked based on the UEFA ranking.


This decision comes at a time when the topic of tense schedules and big overtimes in games is heated and a lot of players and players’ associations are in dialogue with the federations regarding the overload on footballers’ bodies.
