In 2025, a refreshed configuration of the Club World Cup looks for us. Previously a competition highlighting six groups — addressing the most grounded across different mainland confederations — held yearly, from 2025 forward, the competition will embrace another design. It will happen at regular intervals, reflecting the arrangement of the FIFA World Cup for public groups, including 32 clubs.

The competition spaces are dispensed as follows across football confederations:

  • UEFA – 12 groups
  • CONMEBOL – 6 groups
  • CONCACAF – 4 groups
  • AFC – 4 groups
  • CAF – 4 groups
  • OFC – 1 group

FIFA holds the option to welcome two groups at their tact, no matter what their exhibition. Ongoing data proposes they don’t want to stretch out a solicitation to Barcelona for the competition, as detailed by Sport.es.

La Liga is supposed to introduce two groups, and one spot has proactively been gotten by Genuine Madrid, the victor of the 2021/22 UEFA Champions Association.

Nonetheless, FIFA doesn’t plan to welcome the ‘Blaugrana’ because of stressed relations between the association and the club. This strain mostly originates from the Catalan club’s administration supporting the Super Association project, a drive went against by FIFA.

For the Catalan club, just a single open door stays to get a spot — by accomplishing the vital benchmarks. To do as such, they should collect seven focuses more than Atlético or win the ebb and flow season’s Heroes Association, a possibility showing up exceptionally questionable given the group’s momentum execution.

Positively, 2024 holds unforeseeable potential outcomes. However, obviously under Xavi’s direction, the players should escalate their endeavors altogether to strive for capability. In any case, they risk passing up the debut version of this lofty competition.
