Here is the format for the 32-team FIFA Club World Cup, to be hosted by the United States for the first time in 2025.

[{ "selector": ".mblsi-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 9px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

12 European clubs, including the Champions League winners from 2021-24 will be a part of this competition.

[{ "selector": ".fsrjg-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 18px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The remaining clubs will be determined by a ranking based on the same four-year period.

[{ "selector": ".bmzam-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

This also means that Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City have already qualified for the event.

[{ "selector": ".tnfbq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Six CONMEBOL clubs will also be a part of this competition.

These include the Copa Libertadores winners between 2021 and 2024.
