There are 28 known teams that will take part in the Club World Championship. Only 4 places left

Yesterday, the final match of the AFC Champions League took place, with Al-Ain from the United Arab Emirates emerging as the tournament's victor. This triumph secured the Dubai-based team a spot in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which will be hosted in the USA next year.

This edition marks the first time the tournament will follow a new format, featuring 32 teams. Al-Ain has become the 28th team to secure their berth, leaving four remaining spots.

Next week, the final CONCACAF representative will be determined in the Champions League final between Pachuca and Columbus. From CONMEBOL, Boca Juniors stand the highest chance of qualifying via ranking, though a spot remains for the winner of the 2024 Copa Libertadores. The final slot will be awarded by FIFA to a team from the host nation, likely to be Inter Miami.
