““This match schedule is much more than a list of thrilling fixtures involving the best clubs in the world – it shows that club football can, and will be, truly global. Let’s take it to the world,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said.
Teams qualified for the Club World Cup by winning a continental title from 2021 through 2024, or being high ranked with consistent results over those four editions.
FIFA gifted Inter Miami a place in October for finishing top of the MLS regular season standings. The MLS Cup final is played Saturday with Los Angeles Galaxy hosting New York Red Bulls.
