Joy as Chelsea gets assured of place in new Club World Cup; Todd Boehly reacts to News.
FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup in the summer of 2025 will have a spot for Chelsea.
The Premier League giants will be involved because they won the Champions League in 2021.
The expanded format will include many spots for UEFA teams, as FIFA attempts to make the competition more prestigious.
Real Madrid, last year’s winners, will also be present at the tournament.
There will be a total of 32 teams in the competition from 2025 onwards.
Many fans are concerned about the impact of an expanded tournament on player health.
“The details of the location still need to be discussed but it has been agreed and decided that a 32-team Club World Cup tournament will go ahead, making it like a World Cup,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said.
“There will be a Club World Cup of 32 teams to be played every four years and the first edition will take place in 2025 in the summer.
“During that slot where in other years it would be the Confederations Cup, it will be slightly longer because there are 32 teams so it will last a bit longer, but they will be the best teams in the world who will all be invited to participate.”
