In recent years the FIFA she is desperately looking for ways to increase her income. In fact, FIFA wants money to flow into its coffers on a more… stable basis and when, that is, he doesn’t have a World Cupwhere then her income takes off.
It’s impressive, isn’t it, to see what is UEFA’s annual revenue with the “gold bearing” Champions League and which of FIFA. The differences are huge! After all, that’s why the talk all this time about biennial World Cupwhich – fortunately – for the time being has faded…
In this direction, therefore, the FIFA has long since decided to completely change her “her own” big club organizationthe World Cup. Last December, the Council of the Federation decided definitively to increase from 2025 the teams from 7 to… 32! The first tournament, which will be held with this number of teams, will be the interval June-July 2025. They change, that is, the dates and the truth is that the summer, where there is nothing else, has an interest to see if the interest of the people increases, which data has weakened for the event in question.
In everything to do with her distribution of seatsthis will be the following:
AFC (Asia): 4, CAF (Africa): 4, CONCACAF (North, Central America & Caribbean): 4, CONMEBOL (South America): 6, OFC (Oceania): 1, UEFA (Europe): 12 and ‘host » of the tournament: 1.
Today (21/02), therefore, the “Times” reveal how the 12 European seats will be allocated. According to the valid Medium, eight places will be awarded based on the UEFA team rankings and the other four will go to the Champions League winners of the last seasons before the first 32-team competition (2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025).
Based on this, as he also analyzes the RES, if the Club World Cup was held tomorrow, the eight spots would be taken by Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United. Considering that Real Madrid would go on to win the Champions League for 2022, just like Chelsea (2021), Bayern (2020) and Liverpool (2019), their places would be “filled” by Juventus (9th), Ajax (10th) , Dortmund (11th) and Atletico Madrid (12th).
In the same report of the “Times”, it is emphasized that UEFA wants to limit the teams per country to two. This would, of course, mainly affect the English, who have four in the top eight of the standings. The only way for there to be four clubs per country is for two of them to win the Champions League in previous years and another two to be in the top eight of the standings.
Until 2025, FIFA will maintain the Club World Cup with usual form of recent years, i.e. with seven teams. Saudi Arabia will host the 2023 event from December 12 to 22.
