Only the teams with the best ranking points will be eligible to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup to be held in 2025. The highest body in world football has created a tool that offers real-time -classification of points for all confederations and which is accessible from the official FIFA website.
Right now Barça is six points away from the FIFA coefficient to enter the twelve UEFA clubs that will participate in the first edition of the Club World Cup to be held in the summer of 2025 in the United States. Specifically from June 15 to July 13. There are already 23 out of 32 clubs that have obtained their classification.
In the case of UEFA, there are eight clubs that have already achieved this presence. Four of them as continental champions (Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea and the winner of the 2024 edition of the current Champions League) to which is added another eight who achieved it due to the best ranking of UEFA and of which there are already five They achieved it: PSG, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Benfica and Porto
There are still three more places to be decided in Europe and where Barcelona will now appear. In particular, six points behind the ranking of Atlético de Madrid, which holds the tenth place and the last place that this ranking has to attend the club’s first World Cup event. Atlético de Madrid, in tenth place, has 62 points in the coefficient compared to 56 for the Barça team. At the top is Borussia Dortmund with 68 and they are joined by Juventus, which although it has 47 points, will also enter the ranking.
The draw against Naples in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 further complicated the Barça team’s chances of qualifying. Let’s not forget that the ranking is based on the last four editions of the Champions League and where each victory means two points for the winning team, one point for a draw and the same point for passing the stage (quarter- finals, semi-finals and final).
Barcelona now need to win their second leg and go to the quarterfinals, which would mean three more points. And also that Atlético de Madrid lost to Inter Milan. But he should also reach the semifinals. In case of equal points in red and white, Barcelona will be in the Club World Cup by adding more points in this edition. A classification that can be followed immediately thanks to the tool created by FIFA.
