United States to host expanded 32-team Club World Cup in 2025

The United States will host the Club World Cup in 2025, the first time the FIFA tournament will have 32 teams.

Not a fan of the change in format but still excited for top teams to be visiting the country.

Interesting that it's in the summer. I suppose, depending on venues, they may not have wanted to do it in December/February, but it feels weird for it to be outside of the normal European season.
I quite like the change in format but as ever, far too many slots for European teams. 12 slots means at least 8 European teams (9 if Real or City win CL next season) won't have actually won anything but qualified anyway.
- Can't imagine they let some scrubs like Bayern, Liverpool, PSG and Barcelona in. Should rather be 4 teams from Australia.
- Maybe they'll let EL and ECL winners go lol
Better than going to Quatar/Saudi Arabia for sure, but this new format is nonsense.
