Barcelona's Champions League exit led to Atletico Madrid securing a spot in the 32-team Club World Cup in the U.S. next year.
Europe will have 12 teams at the tournament, including past Champions League winners, with an expanded format every four years.
FIFA expects to pay significant prize money to each team at the Club World Cup, excluding European heavyweight clubs like Barcelona and Manchester United.
Atletico Madrid joins top European clubs such as Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, along with other high-ranked teams, in the Club World Cup lineup.
