Why are there no Barcelona in the Club World Cup 2025 participating teams? The number of teams participating in the 2025 Club World Cup has increased and the schedule has been extended, bringing huge business opportunities to FIFA, participating teams, sponsors and the media. So why are there no Barcelona in the Club World Cup 2025 participating teams?
The teams participating in the Club World Cup 2025 have no Barcelona because of 4 of the 12 seats in the European region, 4 are the Champions League champions, and the remaining 8 are allocated according to the points ranking, and at most two teams in the same Football Association participated (unless the Football Association has teams winning the championship multiple times). During the same period, Real Madrid won the Champions League twice and scored as high as 89 points. Atletico Madrid also beat Barcelona's 61 points with 67 points, resulting in Barcelona being at a disadvantage in the European points competition.
