At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Europe has the overwhelming majority with 12 places. Next is South America with 6 places. Other regions such as Asia, Africa, North and Central America and the Caribbean have 4 places each. The remaining two representatives belong to Oceania and the host USA. The division of the places to participate partly reflects the level of the regions.
Europe dominates in quality at FIFA Club World Cup
This is indisputable. All the best players want to play in Europe - the football paradise of the world . Combined with the level of organization and the sharp business sense of the managers, European clubs have quickly created a difference from the rest of the world.
In the 20 previous FIFA Club World Cups, only 4 times the championship did not belong to European teams. That shows that representatives from the old continent are too "out of their league" in this playground. The balance of power for a very long time has been completely tilted towards European clubs. At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Europe has 12 representatives and almost all the strongest clubs are present.

A vision of European teams dominating the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is conceivable. The question now is whether they are serious about the FIFA Club World Cup? Will this new edition appeal to European football representatives?
If the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is taken seriously, all European teams will be candidates for the championship. Of which, Real Madrid, Man City, PSG, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan will be the most highly rated teams. Real Madrid and Man City have just had a bad season, so they have a lot of motivation in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
PSG and Inter Milan are the two teams in the UEFA Champions League final and are also keen to assert their position in world football. As for Bayern Munich, they need the title at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup to erase the doubts that still linger under coach Vincent Kompany.
One obstacle for the efforts of European teams is health and fitness. They have just gone through a fierce and almost exhausting season in Europe - where a team has to participate in 3-4 arenas with about 50 matches. This will certainly seriously affect their ambitions at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
The only opponents that can beat the old continental clubs are themselves.

Competition from South America
If there is any team that can stop the European representatives at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, it can only be South American clubs. History has proven that when South American teams have defeated European representatives 4 times to win the FIFA Club World Cup.
Although they may be weaker than their European counterparts, South American teams are always full of determination and have a very high fighting spirit. In contrast to European clubs that always consider the UEFA Champions League as number 1, South American teams aim for the FIFA Club World Cup and consider this an extremely important title, almost the pinnacle of their club career.
Another factor that makes the difference is that compared to other regions, the level of South American football is closer to Europe (compared to club level). South American players are often very "weird", and have especially rich international experience when entering big matches. At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Botafogo, River Plate and Boca Juniors will be the names challenging European teams. If they are lucky and have a reasonable playing style, these South American teams can completely cause difficulties for the big teams from Europe.
Outside of South America, representatives from other regions could also cause surprises. However, the possibility of them overthrowing European teams is very low. Although the number of teams in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has been expanded, the game will still be limited to teams from Europe and South America.
A major concern when FIFA increases the number of teams participating in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 to 32 is that the professional quality of the tournament may decline. In fact, the level of teams in this region and other regions is so different that many matches are easily unbalanced and likely to have high scores.
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup kicks off from June 15 to July 14 (Vietnam time). FPT Play is the only unit in Vietnam that owns the broadcasting and media rights for this tournament.
