The new-look FIFA Club World Cup is fast approaching, with the tournament set to kick off on June 14, 2025.

After a two-year hiatus, the competition is back?and bigger and better than ever. This time, 32 teams (up from the usual seven) will battle it out not just for a brand-new trophy and global bragging rights, but for a share of an expanded $1 billion prize pool.

The revamped format means more clubs from every corner of the globe now have the chance to compete?a move FIFA hopes will not only boost global viewership, but also make the tournament one of the most competitive in world football.

Here?s everything you need to know about who has qualified for the 2025 Club World Cup?and how they made it.

How Teams Qualify for the 2025 Club World Cup

Teams from all six of world soccer?s governing confederations?UEFA (Europe), CONMEBOL (South America), AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), Concacaf (North & Central America), and OFC (Oceania)?will be represented at the expanded 2025 Club World Cup.

The number of slots awarded to each confederation is based on historical strength and competitive balance:

UEFA: 12 teams

CONMEBOL: 6 teams

AFC, CAF, and Concacaf: 4 teams each

OFC: 1 team

Host nation (USA): 1 team

UEFA and CONMEBOL

For both UEFA and CONMEBOL, qualification is based on performances in their premier club competitions?the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores?over the past four seasons. Each year?s winner secures an automatic spot, with the remaining places going to the highest-performing teams in that time frame who haven?t already qualified.

AFC, CAF, and Concacaf

These three regions follow a more straightforward system: the winners of the last four editions of each continent?s top club competition (the AFC Champions League, CAF Champions League, and Concacaf Champions Cup) earn a spot. There is an exception this year, however, which we will touch on later.

OFC

Given that Oceania has only one place, the highest-ranked team among the last four OFC Champions League winners?based on FIFA's club performance criteria?gets the nod.

What If There Are Repeat Winners?

In the event of a club winning its confederation?s competition more than once during the qualifying period, the vacant spot is passed down to the next highest-ranked club that hasn?t already secured qualification. Rankings are determined using a point system that rewards clubs for wins and deeper runs in their respective tournaments over the past four years.
