Participating teams will come from the six confederations; UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, CAF, AFC and OFC.
There will be 12 European teams, six South American teams, five from North America, Central America and the Caribbean, four African and Asian teams apiece and one from Oceania.
The group stage draw for the 2025 Club World Cup is on Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 6pm GMT.
It will be held in Miami, Florida.
