  • How could arsenal have taken it if there’s a 2 club limit from each country with Man City and Chelsea already there. That’s the reason Liverpool didn’t get in.
    Arsenal only got in if they won it. 
    Two club per country unless they have actually won the champions league in that period

    Correct, if you win your confederations Champions league during the 4 year period then you get in regardless. Brazil have 4 teams in it and Mexico have 3.
  • The new CWC has had a lot of detractors but it's importance has been bumped up a lot by the news in the last 24 hours.

    A broadcaster for the tournament has been confirmed with DAZN signing a $1bn deal with FIFA.

    There are reports that clubs like Man City and Chelsea will now be set to earn between £50m and £60m just for taking part, with the winners of the whole tournament set to earn £120m. Crazy money that i think will have a few club owners having a word in their managers ears about taking this tournament a lot more seriously now.

  • The 'let's include Saudi Arabia because money' tournament. 
    Who'd have thought it. FIFA absolutely stink.

  • couldn't give a toss if Saudi Arabia host it to be honest. Just as I didn't care it was held in Qatar

    More annoyed it is likely to be in January

    A bit of both Liverpool haven't won it since 2019.

    What even is the criteria for this. Are Inter Miami in it because they have Messi or have they actually achieved their place?
    They finished top of the league in the MLS regular season so FIFA moved quickly and 'invited' them as the host nation gets a guest spot.
    So basically 'Yes' to the Messi question. Really think they could hype it up without Ronaldo or Messi in the tournament.

    Mexican team Leon are kicked out of the Club World Cup on Friday after FIFA’s appeals committee upheld a decision that it violated a rule that forbids multi-club ownership.

    Leon and fellow Mexican club Pachuca both qualified for this summer’s Club World Cup in the United States but have the same owner, Grupo Pachuca.
  • Manchester City and Chelsea could earn up to £97m in prize money from this year's Club World Cup.

    The overall prize fund, shared between all 32 teams based on different factors, will be £775m, with £407m divided between all participating clubs and £368m awarded on a performance-related basis.

    Money awarded for participation is weighted by a ranking based on sporting and commercial criteria, meaning European clubs will earn more for taking part than teams from other continents.

    The top-ranked European team by Fifa's metrics will receive £29.6m just for participating - and they would secure the maximum prize available of around £97m for winning all of their group-stage games and then going on to win the tournament.

    A group-stage win will net a team £1.5m, with £5.8m for reaching the last 16, £10.2m for reaching the quarter-finals, £16.3m for reaching the semi-finals, and £31m for winning the final.


    Well that's one way to make the big clubs take an interest in the tournament, absolutely crazy money.

  • But the players are playing too many games.

    MLS owns all of the MLS franchises so how does that work?

    Two Clubs (in the Club World Cup) based in America.

    Seattle Sounders FC

    Inter Miami


    Grupo Pachuca owns both CFPachuca and Club León.

    CF Pachuca and Club León failed to meet the criteria on multi-club ownership defined under article 10 paragraph 1 of the Regulations for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

  • Also the inclusion of Inter Miami was entirely a marketing decision. Yes, they won the Eastern Conference last year, but LAFC won the Western Conference and didn't get a look in.

    There was always a feeling that Don Garber would make up some criteria to include them. Micky Mouse league.
  • Also the inclusion of Inter Miami was entirely a Messi decision. ;)

    Duh... Its because Inter Miami finished top of the combined MLS League phase

    Which ultimately has no baring on who wins the MLS Cup

    Bit like Charlton getting promoted for finishing third, and failing to win the League One Play-Offs

    LAFC didn't get a look in because Miami won the 'Supporter's Shield' which is basically given to the team with the most points over a league season (ie. how most other leagues worldwide award their champion). They also set a points record for the MLS. LAFC didn't win anything.

    That criteria was never set out before the season began.

    I can absolutely guarantee you that if Inter Miami hadn't won the Supporter's Shield and had won the US Open Cup, winning the US Open Cup would have been the deciding factor.
