FIFA Club World Cup 2025 has only 4 seats left, Messi's Inter Miami gets the host slot?

According to AS (Spain), Messi's Inter Miami club will be the MLS team selected as the 32nd team to participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as the host representing the United States.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has now confirmed its 28 official participating clubs, after the latest team to be named, Al Ain of the UAE, won the 2023-2024 AFC Champions League (beating Japan's Yokohama Marinos 6-3 on aggregate last weekend).

Of the remaining four spots, one more spot from the CONCACAF region (North, Central America and the Caribbean) will be decided this week after the CONCACAF Champions Cup final between Pachuca (Mexico) and Columbus Crew (USA) - taking place on June 2 (Vietnam time). Two spots from the South American region (CONMEBOL) are pending determination with the 2024 Copa Libertadores champion and the best-ranked team in this region, and one spot for the host country, the US team, which is currently playing in the MLS.

Messi's Inter Miami are likely to be invited by FIFA to compete as the host team representing the United States. Inter Miami are playing brilliantly in the MLS, topping the Eastern Conference standings with 34 points after 16 matches. In the last 10 matches, the team owned and co-owned by former football star David Beckham is unbeaten with 7 wins and 3 draws.

In the total ranking of 29 clubs in MLS, Inter Miami is still leading the table, holding 1 of 4 slots to participate in the first round of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in 2025. And is in the top 10 teams that will go straight to the play-off round to compete for the MLS Cup championship at the end of the year and to the round of 32 of the US Open Cup 2025.

Inter Miami's participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is also considered to be very convincing, thanks to the possession of a squad of top stars such as Messi, Suarez, Busquets and Jordi Alba. They are also targeting many other stars in the upcoming summer transfer window, such as recruiting center-back Nacho from Real Madrid to strengthen the defense, according to AS .

At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, European representatives account for the largest number of clubs, up to 12. The most regrettable absence is Barcelona, which has to give way to Atletico Madrid, missing out on the opportunity to earn at least 50 million USD in prize money from this tournament.

The remaining top clubs are all present such as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man City, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Porto, Benfica along with PSG and Salzburg. Manchester United also cannot participate after being eliminated early in the Champions League group stage and only finishing 8th in the Premier League in the 2023-2024 season, but consolation with the FA Cup championship to participate in the Europa League in the 2024-2025 season.
