Clarifying Club World Cup 2025 format

I’m recalling that the Club World Cup 2025 isn’t a round-robin format. It features 32 teams with a group stage of 8 groups of 4, where each team plays 3 matches, and the top two advance to knockout rounds. I’m not completely sure about the third-place match; I think FIFA decided there won't be one. The teams are allocated by confederation, with 12 from UEFA and the rest from various confederations, plus the host.Examining team allocation for Club World Cup 2025

I’m trying to recall how the team allocations work for the Club World Cup 2025. It seems like there are 32 teams: 12 from UEFA, 6 from CONMEBOL, 4 each from AFC, CAF, and CONCACAF, 1 from OFC, and 1 for the host country's league champion, which I believe is the USA. There's some confusion about the host slot — whether it goes to an extra CONCACAF club if not already qualified. I'm still a bit unsure about that detail!Explaining qualification and format for Club World Cup 2025

The qualification for Club World Cup 2025 involves teams based on the past four years of continental competitions. Champions from 2021 to 2024 automatically qualify, alongside additional teams based on association rankings, capped at two per country unless they’re champions. UEFA's teams reflect clubs like Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester City from Champions League performance. I'm considering crafting a summary that outlines the tournament's expansion, schedule from June 15 to July 13 in the USA, and the format of 8 groups of 4 with knockout rounds. Additionally, squad sizes might be around 23 players.Clarifying squad limits and potential dark horses for Club World Cup 2025

For the Club World Cup 2025, I’m thinking the squad limit will be 23 players, compared to the 26-player limit for Qatar 2022. Since I’m not completely sure, I’ll keep it general. I’m also considering dark horse teams that are not from UEFA, such as Flamengo, Palmeiras, River Plate, and Al Ahly. From Asia, we have clubs like Urawa Red Diamonds and Al Hilal. For qualifiers, Al Hilal, Urawa, and Al Ain are likely, but I'll avoid specifics to stay safe!
