  FIFA has imposed a two team-per-nation rule for the new Club World Cup. Once met, no other team from that country can qualify. It means than next year, a number of Europe's biggest clubs, including FC Barcelona, Liverpool, and Napoli, will miss out.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will feature a new expanded format with 32 teams, taking place from June 15 to July 13, 2025, in the United States. 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.
