FIFA aims to provide money to all the teams, and at this moment, they are transparent to the public. About the Competition, the FIFA president said:
In this FIFA Club World Cup, teams will have representatives of 34 European countries participating. Thirty-four European countries will play in the FIFA Club World Cup,” Mr Infantino told delegates. “This is actually one country more than all the countries in Europe who have ever participated in the FIFA World Cup, which is 33. So, it opens up opportunities, and guess what? Not just citizens of eight countries can win the FIFA Club World Cup, but citizens of all the countries. “This is what football is about. It’s about bringing people together, bringing countries together. Actually, the 12 European clubs today have – and this is also interesting – 54 different countries represented from all over the world: 34 from Europe, 20 from five other continents. So, Europe is already uniting the world, the world of football, and that’s what we are here for.
This is just the start of something big. Next year, the FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 will add more teams to the competition. The plan is the same for the FIFA Club World Cup. Infantino said
Our idea – and we will discuss this further at the FIFA Council before the Congress in May – is actually to increase there, as well, the number of participating teams from 32 to 48, to equal it with the FIFA Men’s World Cup as of 2031
