Teams at the FIFA Club World Cup
In 2025, 32 teams from various confederations will take part in the Club World Cup. These will be made up of the winners of the continental Champions League competitions and other top clubs.
Results from the 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons were used as the basis for qualifying for the first Club World Cup in the new format.
Qualification for the FIFA Club World Cup
European Participants:
12 teams from Europe will take part in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Four of these places are allocated to the winners of the UEFA Champions League in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, while the remaining eight places are based on a four-year ranking of performance in the Champions League. This ranking takes into account the performance of the teams over the respective seasons and thus determines which teams can represent Europe in the new Club World Cup.
Participants from Other Continents:
The teams from the other continents also qualify via their most prestigious club competitions, which are equivalent to the European Champions League. In addition, a ranking list also plays a key role in the allocation of the coveted places in the tournament.
