The final match of the Copa Libertadores was held yesterday, with Fluminense emerging victorious.

Following this match, all the participants for the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia have been determined.

Participants in the tournament will include the winners of club competitions from each of the six confederations and the host country's champion. It's worth noting that starting in 2025, the tournament will adopt an expanded format and be held every four years.
