The team whose main face is the Argentine star has accepted the resumption of the competition which will be played next year, in the United States. It was the biggest world football leader who made this announcement during the last match of Las Garzas. What quota do you use to enter the tournament?
Inter Miami became the penultimate team to qualify for the 2025 Club World Cup. the big footballing event of next year. This is also the first version of the new face of the competition, whose structure resembles that of the World Cup, with more participants and from all continents. The franchise owned by former footballer David Beckham and businessman Jorge Mas is participating in a global competition for the first time in its history. with Lionel Messi as standard bearer.
In short, the basis of millionaire Las Garzas’ plan is to become a powerhouse in the emerging Major League Soccer (MLS) by signing big-name figures such as the chip, Luis Suarez Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets (all former Barcelona), led by a long-time coach like Gerardo Martino.
As expected, critical voices emerged, questioning the presence of a team that has very little history in the Concacaf concert, but which counts within its squad one of the most successful footballers of all times. This goes hand in hand with the animosity that Argentina and Messi himself aroused due to FIFA’s alleged “favoritism” towards the Albiceleste and the former Barcelona figure, especially since Gianni Infantino is the president of football’s governing body.
The aforementioned manager himself attended Inter Miami’s last match in the MLS regular season, in which they faced the New England Revolution, and He himself announced the team’s ranking. “It was an incredible moment to be able to announce live to the Inter Miami fans, who had an incredible season with a record points record and everything in between, that the team had qualified for the FIFA World Cup. FIFA clubs,” explained the FIFA helmsman. “It is now officially one of the 32 best clubs in the world, just a few years after its creation. You can now start writing your own story on the world stage,” he added.
Besides, The “XL” Club World Cup is the favorite tournament of the boss of the Zurich entity. The new competition format responded to Infantino’s aspiration to transform the tournament (make it more “inclusive”), meaning more matches on the schedule (which is already very tight) and more revenue from TV rights and sponsors. At the same time, the return of the Intercontinental Cup is integrated into the program.
32 teams, from six confederations, will participate in the new Club World Cup between June 15 and July 13, 2025 in the United States. Until Inter Miami was confirmed as a participant, there were 30 qualified teams. There were two left to know. 31st place was the pink shirt team. How did you rank?
The United States, as the host country of the competition, has one place available. Inter got it as winner of the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield, award that recognizes the best regular season team in a league that still has the playoffs to define the champion. For the rest, Inter Miami, as host, will play the opening match of the World Cup at the Hard Rock Stadium. An excessive price?
There is one place left to qualify for this competition and she is from South America. It’s for the 2024 Copa Libertadores champion. Atlético Mineiro, River Plate, Botafogo and Peñarol are the semi-finalists of the continent’s main tournament. A reservation is necessary: the Millonarios are already included in the World Cup rankings by Conmebol (just like Boca Juniors). SO, whether River will become the champion of the Cup the one entering the tournament is Olimpia from Paraguay, the best placed in the ranking.
