International football competition

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup qualification is the qualifying process which decides the 32 teams that will qualify for the first expanded version of the tournament. The tournament is scheduled to be played in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025.

Slot allocation and qualification[edit]

On February 14, 2023, the FIFA Council approved the slot allocation for the 2025 tournament based on a “set of objective metrics and criteria”. UEFA were awarded the most slots with twelve, while CONMEBOL were given the second most with six. The AFC, CAF, and CONCACAF were all given four slots, while the OFC and the host association were given one slot each.^[1] On March 14, the FIFA Council approved the key principles of the access list for the tournament.^[2] The principles are as follows, considering competitions completed during a four-year period from 2021 to 2024:

• CONMEBOL and UEFA (more than four slots): access for the winners of the confederation’s top club competition between 2021 and 2024, with additional teams to be determined by a club ranking of the four-year period
• AFC, CAF, and CONCACAF (four slots each): access for the winners of the confederation’s top club competition between 2021 and 2024^{[note 1]}
• OFC (one slot): access for the highest-ranked club among the winners of the confederation’s top club competition between 2021 and 2024^{[note 2]}
• Host country (one slot): To be determined at a later stage

If a club wins two or more seasons of their confederation’s top club competition, additional teams will be determined by a club ranking of the four-year period. A restriction of two clubs per association will be applied, with an exception for champion clubs if more than two clubs from the same association win their confederation’s top club competition. The calculation method for the four-year club rankings within each confederation will be based on sporting criteria during seasons completed between 2021 and 2024, and will be finalized after consultation with confederations and stakeholders.^[2]

Based on the access list, the following teams have qualified for the tournament:^[3][4][5]
