3 European Teams Awaiting Qualification For The 2025 Club World Cup
Only three tickets remain for Europe in the Club World Cup, which will be held in 2025 under the new 32-team format, and depending on the scenarios, the identity of the final three qualifiers may be known this week. There are 9 out of 12 tickets granted to the European continent that have already found their owners, and it is possible to know the identity of the final three finalists this European weekend. The last 4 matches of the Champions League round of 16 will be between Arsenal, Porto, Barcelona and Napoli on Tuesday evening, then Atletico, Inter Milan and Dortmund. And Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, decisive. Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Salzburg could check their qualification this week depending on their Champions League scenarios. In the event that Napoli is eliminated by Barcelona on Tuesday evening, Juventus will guarantee the representation of Italy, after Inter Milan reserved the first ticket for Italy. By the same logic, eliminating Barcelona will automatically qualify Atletico Madrid. To be in the Club World Cup in the summer of 2025, the Catalan club must either win the Champions League or continue its journey by catching up with Atletico Madrid in the C1 performance rankings. The last team that can qualify this week is Salzburg, where the Austrian club, 18th in the club classification during the 2021-2024 period, must rely on the elimination of Arsenal by Porto and Eindhoven by Borussia Dortmund. In this case, all teams ahead of Salzburg in the club classification will either already qualify or will not be able to qualify due to the quota of two clubs per country.
