FIFA's 2025 Club World Cup will feature 32 teams instead of 7, with Inter Miami qualifying as tournament hosts, raising hopes for a Messi-Ronaldo matchup.
The new competition format allocates spots differently among confederations, largely including recent winners and performance-based rankings. Inter Miami benefits from being host nation.
Inter Miami's qualification is notable as it reflects the expanded tournament's structure and highlights Messi's impact in bringing a new competitive aspect.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, despite being a prominent club, won't participate as AFC slots went to rivals like Al-Hilal and Urawa Red Diamonds.
