FIFA’s revised Club World Cup, scheduled for 2025 and including 32 teams, will take place from June 15 to July 13.

In addition to confirming the dates for the Club World Cup, the Council convened in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to decide that the champion of the UEFA Champions League will face a team that advances through the intercontinental playoffs in the Intercontinental Cup the following year.

“The tournament will feature all current confederation premier club competition champions,” FIFA President Infantino said.

“(It) concludes with a final at a neutral venue between the UEFA Champions League winners and the winners of an intercontinental play-off between clubs from the other confederations.”

Additionally, the Council determined that Poland would host the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in 2026 and Chile would host the Under-20 World Cup in 2025.
