All confirmed! Chelsea opponents are released, Liverpool and Barcelona miss the Club World Cup, Real Madrid and Paris are hit

The World Club Champions League, referred to as the Club World Cup, the last play-off has ended, all 32 teams have been confirmed, and Chelsea's opponents are also released. Interestingly, many fresh champions including Liverpool and Barcelona were absent, while traditional giants such as Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain became popular among the champions. This summer, the first Club World Cup will be held in the United States, a brand new event. In the past, the Club World Cup generally only had a few champions from all continents. Due to the strong strength of European teams, the championship often did not have much suspense and its attractiveness decreased year by year.

In order to break this phenomenon, this season, the former Club World Cup was renamed the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, retaining the original competition system, and Real Madrid won the first Intercontinental Cup in December last year. At the same time, FIFA launched the new FIFA Club World Cup, held every four years, consisting of champions from various continents in the past four years and top-ranked teams, which is somewhat similar to the World Cup that has been held every four years. The biggest difference is that there are no qualifiers in the Club World Cup, and they are all determined by the champion or ranking. The Club World Cup consists of 32 teams, divided into 8 groups to compete in a single round round. The top two in the group advanced to the top 16, and then passed multiple rounds of single-game knockout matches until the championship was decided, without a third place competition. According to the rules, Europe has 12 teams, with the largest number, South America has 6 teams, Asia, Africa and Central and North America each have 4 teams, and Oceania has 1 team. The remaining quota belongs to the host, from Miami International in the United States.

The European region that fans are more concerned about is the winners of the past four Champions League, Chelsea, Real Madrid (2 champions) and Manchester City are automatically shortlisted, and the remaining 9 places are determined by the points ranking. Unlike the familiar European team points, this standings are set separately, only the results of the Champions League are considered, including the results of the Europa League and the European Union and other competitions.

In the end, Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Inter Milan and Juventus in Serie A, Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, Porto and Benfica in Portugal's Super League, and Salzburg in Austria, these 9 top teams, plus 3 European champions, will represent the European region.

Interestingly, this season's Premier League champion Liverpool, La Liga champion Barcelona, ​​Serie A champion Naples, and Portugal Super League champion Portugal Sports are not eligible for participation. The reason is very simple, because each country can only have two teams at most. Chelsea and Manchester City have missed the chance to join with two championships. Barcelona's Champions League results in the past four years are just a little inferior to Atletico Madrid and have also lost their qualifications.

In addition, Leon and Pachuca from Mexico, since the two clubs belong to the same group, Pachuca can stay and Leon's qualification for participation is cancelled. Los Angeles FC and Mexico America, through a play-off, produce the last team to participate.

In the just-concluded game, Los Angeles FC did not equalize the score until 90 minutes while trailing by one goal, and won the Club World Cup qualification. According to the group arrangement, Los Angeles FC will be in the same group as Chelsea, Brazil's Flamenco and Tunisia Hope, and Giroud is expected to face his old club Chelsea. Two weeks later, the opening ceremony of the Club World Cup will be held, with the opening match between host Miami International, facing the Cairo nationals of Egypt. Judging from the game time, most of them are arranged in the four periods of 0, 3, 6 and 9, and there are a few games at 4, 8 and 10. Perhaps, the game time at 9 a.m. is more friendly to domestic fans.

Paris Saint-Germain, who just beat Inter Milan five goals in the final, became the second participating team in the next 2029 Club World Cup. The first team is the new Asian champion released a few weeks ago, a Jeddah national from Saudi Arabia.

In this Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain, which is in excellent form, is expected to continue to work hard and strive to win the championship. European teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are all potential champions in the hearts of fans.

The difference from the national team is that obviously, the popularity and strength of European teams are stronger than other continents and even the giants in South America. This season's Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain, InterContinental Cup champion Real Madrid, and UEFA Champions League champion Chelsea have the chance to become the champion of the first Club World Cup?
