This tournament will see teams from various confederations qualify through different methods: UEFA will have 12 teams, including the winners of the Champions League from 2020-21 to 2023-24, plus additional teams based on club coefficients. CONMEBOL will send six teams, including the Copa Libertadores winners from the same period. CONCACAF, CAF, and AFC will each have four representatives, with CONCACAF and CAF using their respective Champions League winners and additional qualification methods, while AFC uses a mix of Champions League winners and a playoff. OFC will have one team, and the host country, the USA, will also have one slot. This format aims to increase the global appeal and competitiveness of the tournament.
