The United States will host the Club World Cup in 2025 -- the first time the FIFA tournament will have 32 teams. Clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea will compete in the tournament during the summer of 2025.
FIFA said in March the basic qualification path for clubs was to win a continental championship in any of the four years from 2021 to 2024 in the five main confederations: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
This expanded version in 2025 is a huge commercial opportunity for FIFA to try new broadcasting models and sign new sponsors, funding hundreds of millions of dollars in prize money for the clubs. The current annual Club World Cup format will continue with a final edition scheduled for December in Saudi Arabia.
