The Club World Cup is about to begin, and the 32 qualified clubs are already preparing for the new competition organized by FIFA. Teams from five continents, representing the six international football confederations—AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC, and UEFA—will participate, all meeting FIFA’s pre-established criteria.

Just showing up pays off—at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, clubs are cashing in big before the first whistle even blows. The entry check alone could make history.
