Talk:2025 FIFA Club World Cup

Presentation of the 4-year coefficient ranking
I would suggest showing the 4-year rankings (based on UCL only) for qualification in the article. Unfortunately, so far I only know of this one website for UEFA (FOTCALC - 4-year-ranking), which is updated regularly after UCL-Match days.

That's why I'm reluctant to include this when there isn't a website for reference for the other confederations. Miria~01 (talk) 15:58, 19 December 2023 (UTC)


 * @Miria~01 I am an afc fan and I collect the ranking for afc but. I have some questions 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * CLUB RANKING AND QUALIFICATION

- Clubs will be ranked based on sporting criteria over four seasons to secure qualification for the Club World Cup.

- Teams will get three points for a win, one point for a draw and three points for progress to each stage of their confederation's premier competition. 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Are by this rule any knockout or qualifier match win gives you 6 points 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * If such then i have summed up the contenders for afc ranking slot 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * (non champions)
 * Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors- 67 points
 * Ulsan Hyundai - 62 points
 * Pohang Steelers,Kawasaki Frontale - 51 points
 * Al Nassr - 49 points
 * Max point gained by acl knockout teams from PQF to ending up as runners up is 18 points and say if jeonbuk wins acl and you need to topple ulsan else in other case you need to topple jeonbuk so only these teams can qualify. So these are the contenders (i have the analysis but hard to put here else the talk page will be flooded) 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Rest confederations are with longer list than afc so cant make now 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Let them start or reach knockout 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

 * This is not said in club coefficient ranking whether we start from competition proper or not. —🪦 <span style="">VSVN  B1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 13:14, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello it´s not said but the Logic whould say that is would be a disadvantage for the Teams who haven't to play the qualifikation round.
 * But here They tell it starts with the GROUP STAGE:
 * The Council unanimously confirmed the club ranking methodology to be used as part of the key principles of access, which were approved at the Council’s meeting in March 2023.
 * With the objective of ensuring the highest quality possible based on sporting criteria over the most recent four seasons, starting from the group stage of the confederation’s relevant premier club competition, and incentivising the result of every game in the respective tournament, the following methodology for the new standard ranking was approved:
 * 3 points for a win
 * 1 point for a draw
 * 3 points for progress to each stage of the competition
 * Only Difference is Europe:
 * In the case of European clubs, given that three full seasons and a full group stage of the fourth season of the UEFA Champions League have already been completed, and since UEFA has an existing club coefficient system, the current pre-existing methodology principles for the purpose of calculating the UEFA club coefficient in relation to matches in the UEFA Champions League only will be exceptionally applied to determine the ranking of European clubs for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
 * The approved methodology for the ranking of European teams is therefore as follows:
 * 2 points for a win
 * 1 point for a draw
 * 4 points for qualification for the group stage
 * 5 points for qualification for the round of 16
 * 1 point for progress to each stage of the competition thereafter
 * Thats from the Website of FIFA

 * Doesn't US already have 2 teams? Seattle and host slot? So I think that US teams would be excluded if Monterrey would win it this year.

I think it's pretty clear it'll only be 2 clubs for the US. But we shall see. OblongBubbles (talk) 19:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

In CONCACAF its quiet different then in Europe and Southern America if there is a New Champion (who diddn`t win the 3 previous Competitions) the whole Table is nice to have but completely irrelevant. Then the Winner goes further and the Nationship of him is also irrelevant because Champions are automatically in the Tournament. Eschmer71 (talk) 16:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

If there is only one match you can get 3 Points (for the match) and 3 points for the round the looser also gets the 3 points for the round he has reached...If there are 2 games per Round you can get 9 Points (3+3 for the matches und 3 points for reaching the round)...but not 6+6=12 !

 * Depends on who wins the competition you count every points when Al Nassr wins every game they win the cup and are in the tournament, other way a former Champion (Al Hilal) wins and they reach more Points then Ulsan Hyundai...
 * But if another Saudi Arabian Team win the AFC Champions League they are directly out.

 * Okay, so here's what we have.
 * Al Nassr is at 58. They can win twice to 67, win twice to 76, and then win one game in the Champions League final to get to 79 for the purposes of the AFC coefficients.
 * Currently Jeonbuk is at 79, which would be a potential tie for Al Nassr for a singular berth. Ulsan is at 71. The two play each other.
 * For Al Nassr to tie Jeonbuk, they have to lose both games to Ulsan, which would rocket them ahead to 80 points and Al Nassr is below them.
 * It looks to me that Al Nassr must either (a) win Champions League or (b) pick up enough points to pass Ulsan and then lose to Jeonbuk in the Champions League final. Wjmorris3 (talk) 03:57, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

 * It's FIFA being FIFA, that is, ambiguous. On the Lusophone Wikipedia (and only there), a separate article Mundial de Clubes FIFA has already been created. I think we should wait for an official position from the FIFA regarding this matter, which will consequently lead the football world (sports media, etc.) to treat the competition as either a different championship from the FIFA Club World Cup initiated in 2000, or as its mere continuation. Now, I think we should follow Wikipedia's recommendations [WP:SECONDARY and WP:COMMONNAME. Note that in the general media, the competition continues to be treated as the first edition of the expanded tournament, which suggests that there have been previous editions of the FIFA Club World Cup, but this is the first time the tournament has been expanded to include more clubs. XICO (talk) 18:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * FIFA isn't ambiguous. It. has time and again, in multipole statements as stated above as clearly called it a new competition with a new trophy, and not a continuation of the previous competition.
 * Also fifa is starting another new competition, the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, with a format similar to the old FIFA World Cup.

 * Sorry it is wrong here. I am not going to give more sources examples, because there are many here already. But the point is that FIFA (the official entity that organizes the tournament) said that is the 1st edition of this tournament!
 * FIFA also named this tournament Mundial de Clubes FIFA differently from the old FIFA Club World Cup (from 2000 to 2023) that now changed its name to FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
 * Finally, talking about secondary sources and common name, there are many general media sources treating it as a NEW FIFA tournament. So keep the way it is right now is completely wrong! Fa30sp (talk) 14:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The first edition under a new-expanded format. FIFA can change the trophy. Who cares? The tournament is the same. Island92 (talk) 17:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

 * I think you didn't read anything. Read the information above that our mates posted with all links related and you will see that it is not just a "new-expanded format", it is a new tournament called Mundial de Clubes FIFA! Portuguese Wikipedia already adopted the correct definition as you can see here.
 * Everyone, who knows football a little bit, cares about it. The FIFA Intercontinental Cup, as you said, is a new tournament of course, but a continuation of the old FIFA Club World Cup. Also, the old FIFA Club World Cup is a continuation of the Intercontinental Cup and you can see it in the List of world champion football clubs.

 * Whether it is a new tournament or not, the English speaking FIFA website lists it as the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. So on the English speaking Wikipedia, it should be listed as that. The first edition topic has still not gathered a consensus. Until then, no mass edits should be happening. <b style="color:green">Chris 1834 </b> <i style="color:green">Talk</i> 19:07, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I completely understand that "1st edition" topic has still not gathered a consensus.
 * But I think my opinion or anyone else's opinion here doesn't matter, when we have FIFA and FIFA's president calling the tournament the NEW Mundial de Clubes FIFA on their official Instagrams, which is in English, as everyone can see here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C54MHGoIXDC/ Fa30sp (talk) 15:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That is 8 weeks old. There entire website called it that originally on the English site. But as of June 1st, they have changed their entire site to reflect the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 name, as can be seen by all the updated links in the article. I was actually all for changing the article to the Mundial name and thought it should be changed but that was before they seemed to have reverted to the common English name officially. <b style="color:green">Chris 1834 </b> <i style="color:green">Talk</i> 17:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * This is a perfect example of why the Wikipedia article title policies are the way they are. I hope this will be a good learning experience for those involved in the discussion! <b style="color: #329604">B</b><b style="color: #FD8F42">L</b><b style="color: #0096FF">A</b>IXX 17:56, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Bro the discussion is taking a different direction.
 * First of all, I just used that post from 8 weeks ago as an example. Let me give another one... June 2nd the last club qualified for Mundial de Clubes FIFA and they called "Mundial de Clubes FIFA" on FIFA and FIFA's president official profiles: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7tMDbYoA9L/
 * But the point I am discussing is regarding the continuity of a tournament and not the name of the article itself.
 * I am 100% in favor of keeping the name of the article as it is. If we translate Mundial de Clubes FIFA to English we will have "FIFA Club World Cup".
 * So what I'm saying is that this is obviously a new tournament, that's why FIFA and its president use the nomenclature NEW to refer to it and the name "FIFA Club World Cup" in another language "Mundial de Clubes FIFA", exactly to differentiate from the old one.
 * It is very simple to observe this, just see that the new FIFA Intercontinental Cup maintains almost the same format of the old FIFA Club World Cup (2000-23) and is very similar to a super cup (only with the champions of each continent participating)! Fa30sp (talk) 18:24, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Bro, this discussion ended today (on the date that marks exactly 1 year to the start of the tournament) with a post from FIFA and its president, through their official social media, stating:
 * "One year to go until the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™️! 🤩 32 teams from all six confederations will gather in the United States for  the inaugural edition next year " (https://www.instagram.com/p/C8O3bNsKvmV/)
 * Now, a new discussion opens about the title of this article (which in my opinion should be kept) and the article from the old FIFA Club World Cup (which in my opinion should be changed). But that is another discussion and is more in the sense of a formality. The most important thing is that we now officially have a position from FIFA and its president, confirming that this is the 1st edition of the new FIFA Club World Cup! Fa30sp (talk) 18:52, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No, and please wait. Something confirmed on instagram is nothing. Island92 (talk) 21:35, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The first edition under a new-expanded format. That's it., .--Island92 (talk) 21:41, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You wrong bro, it is officially the first edition, the INAUGURAL edition as its saying and you are fighting against the reality!
 * First of all, something confirmed on FIFA and FIFA's president official Instagrams is thousand times more valuable than if you wrote a final term on it!
 * Second, that's not only on Instagram, it is also on FIFA's website: https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/club-world-cup/usa-2025/articles/mundial-de-clubes-25-teams-dates-venue-groups-draw-matches-tickets
 * I will quote just a few examples in this article on FIFA's website to help you:
 * "Find out all the information on the new club tournament with details of qualified teams, dates, competition format, hosts, tickets and more."
 * "New tournament will be played for the first time in 2025"
 * "The first edition of FIFA's new prime club competition will be played in the USA."
 * Read the article bro, find the true! Fa30sp (talk) 13:23, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No, the first edition of FIFA's new prime club doesn't mean the first edition at all under the FIFA Club World Cup name. Island92 (talk) 13:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Read here. The new-look 32-team tournament is now just one year away means the new tournament under a new expanded-format, not a new tournament from scratch. Island92 (talk) 13:49, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No bro, it doesn't mean "the new tournament under a new expanded-format".. that's your interpretation on it! It really means new-look 32-team tournament and that's it!
 * Read the article on their official website and you will see the way FIFA treats it with Q&A and its right here: https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/club-world-cup/usa-2025/articles/mundial-de-clubes-25-teams-dates-venue-groups-draw-matches-tickets Fa30sp (talk) 15:24, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

 * The point is different. This page regards the 2025 edition (hence the final tournament with all the teams qualified) rather than a qualification page with teams in contention to qualify or not for the specific edition. Those tables should not be there IMOP. Island92 (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

 * I disagree that a separate qualification article is required, as it is not a separate qualification competition, it is several independent main competitions and a separate ranking system based on results from those independent main competitions. To fork the larger or smaller tables into a separate qualification article does not seem to be sensible. Links to those separate competitions do. Tables showing the remaining teams that can still qualify would be a table that shrinks over time and then disappears, fully replaced by the table of teams that did qualify. That prevents the need for a separate article. Matilda Maniac (talk) 22:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

 * I could get behind this but if that is the way we want to do it, then the OFC table should be gone as Auckland is qualified. Also, in line with that, CONCACAF should be gone as well as Philadelphia have secured that spot if it becomes available through ranking and it is noted as such in the qualification table. Is a table of 1 really a table?
 * When they get down to one team, collapsing doesn't do anything. It still takes up the same amount of vertical space in the article. <b style="color:green">Chris 1834 </b> <i style="color:green">Talk</i> 13:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

This should be further debated here, or perhaps soon at WP:FOOTY, rather than in major deletes with lengthy edit summaries. Matilda Maniac (talk) 09:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You should discuss the merits of keeping or removing the eligible teams 4-year ranking table here, rather than just referring to a more private debate at a User's talk page (and its links to a particular 'consensus' that was reached), as the basis for the removal.
 * My argument is that the 'consensus' referred to relates to the type of table introduced by User:Bmf 051, and subsequently reverted, not the type of table relating to the 4-year rankings (similar to the use of tables for UEFA coefficients used for qualification purposes). An argument that if we can't have one table, we can't have either table, is spurious. Showing all the teams that can qualify for the 2024 Copa Libertadores is unnecessary as it can be easily gleaned from that article by clicking on the link. Matilda Maniac (talk) 04:25, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Could you please provide the source of the information in that table? Specifically a source which indicates which teams are "in contention" and which are not. The rankings provided by FIFA's website do not show that, for example. It's difficult to have a discussion about the merits of keeping or removing information when the legitimacy of the information itself is unclear. Bmf 051 (talk) 06:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Matilda Maniac the tables are listed officially at the Fifa side...https://www.fifa.com/fifa-rankings/mundial-de-clubes
 * The possibility for south american team is that much because the actual Copa Libertadores is just in the group stage first of all every team which isn't eleminated can go through the Champions path...over the ranking it looks like River Plate will be safe in the tournament because they are clearly in front and they make a good job in the group stage right now 3 wins in 3 matches...other teams have to overcome Boca Juniors they cant get more Points then they actual have because they arent in this competition...and the much places come over the rating depends on which team wins the cup...no brazilian team can go over the ranking way because all competing South American Champions come from Brazil (3 Teams/3 Winners) and maximium is 2 per country exceptional Winners of continental competitions... Eschmer71 (talk) 10:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Based on indentation and context, I believe that comment may have been intended for me (correct me if I am wrong). Where is the source that teams near the bottom of the table (for example) are still in contention? Note: I'm not asking you to prove it is true. I am asking you to provide a source saying that. I fully understand what you are saying. But I'm asking for a source. Bmf 051 (talk) 11:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Look here is a side with calculation year by year as you can see the most points one team got are 52 in one year (!!!) till now we aren't far away from starting the Competition so much teams could perform like that the points of Olimpia Asuncion are counting (57) because if a former winner wins the cup like Al Hilal (AFC) or Al Ahly (CAF) there will be 3 spots over the table...Asuncion can't get more points same as Boca Juniors they couldn't qualify for this competition...So every Team who is in the competition might be champion and can go this way and if a team gets summary more then 57 points and on of the former winners wins another time they can also qualify...source are this independent side and the table side of fifa... https://footyrankings.com/cwc/CONMEBOL/ Eschmer71 (talk) 11:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * This indicates which teams can qualify via performance, which includes winning the Copa Libertadores. It for instance shows that Penarol can still qualify, though they are not in the rankings on this page. Where is the source that those listed on this page are the only teams that may qualify via ranking, or that teams not listed cannot? Bmf 051 (talk) 12:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It's simple a team what hasn't competed in an former competition or which belongs to brazil can only go further with getting CHAMPION:
 * Atletico Mineiro, FC Sao Paulo
 * Huachipato, Rosario Central, Palestino, Gremio, Botafogo, Millionaros, Cobresal, San Lorenzo
 * If an Argentinian Team gets Champion Boca can't go further over the Ranking because River Plate
 * ist in front over them...
 * RANKING:
 * 1. River Plate 76 Points, 2. Boca Juniors 71 Points(El.), 3. Olimpia Asuncion 57 Points(El.), 4. Nacional Montevideo 49 Points, 5. Independiente del Valle 45 Points, 6. Cerro Porteno 44 Points, 7. Barcelona Guayaquil 42 Points, 8. Bolivar LaPaz 36 Points, 9. Talleres, Sao Paulo, The Stronges, Estudiantes all 34 Points 13. Libertad 33 Points and 9 other Teams between 26 and 13 Points... Eschmer71 (talk) 12:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Again, we don't want your explanation. We need a source. For example, explain why Penarol cannot qualify via ranking. They have 16 points and may earn 42 more. This gives them enough to pass Olimpia. You and I know that they can't earn 42 points without winning the competition themselves. But that require advanced knowledge, beyond just basic arithmetic. That sort of information requires a source. Not an explanation from an editor. Otherwise, it is WP:OR. Bmf 051 (talk) 13:00, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Maximum 42-points left to be achieved
 * 3 games left at group stage = max. 9 points
 * Round of 16, Quarter, Semi, Final = 7 games = max. 21 points
 * Bonus points for knockout-stages: max. 12 points to final
 * If River Plate wins Copa Libertadores 2024, at least Olimpia with currently 57 points must be surpassed. <b style="color:black">Mir</b><b style="color:#EE3939">ia~01</b> (talk) 12:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not asking for an explanation. I'm asking for a source. This is your own work. And it doesn't fall under basic computations that don't require sources, because it requires knowledge of how these various tournaments work. It is unapologetically WP:OR unless you have the source.

 * I'm not asking for an explanation. I'm asking for a source. Where is the source? You can do all the math you want, but without the source it is OR. Look at my profile. I am a mathematician.

 * This is not a routine calculation. It requires knowledge of the structure and other minutia of various tournaments. Not just basic math. And as Eschmer71 shows above, it is easy to get wrong: Eschmer71 says that 45 points go to the champion, when it's actually 42 because they haven't accounted for the fact that the final is one leg.
 * But lets say for a second that this is a routine calculation. Even then, there was already a consensus reached a year ago that teams in contention should not be in these articles: Talk:2023 FIFA Club World Cup. Bmf 051 (talk) 13:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Peñarol has no chance to qualify}. Nonetheless, there are no bonus points for the title. Neither in the UEFA five-year rankings nor here at FIFA.According to you, Flamengo should have received 55 points for 2022, which was not the case. <b style="color:black">Mir</b><b style="color:#EE3939">ia~01</b> (talk) 13:38, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

All of this discussion about how the calculations work only reinforces the fact that these are not routine calculations a la WP:CALC and that they require a more nuanced understanding of how these various tournaments work. I really do believe this information, when pruned to only show "teams in contention", needs to have a source if it is going to be included.

But I think we're also ignoring the fact that there was already a consensus on this just a year ago (here and here). In light of that, I think it would be better to post this to WP:FOOTY and try to get a better consensus, which I have done here.

I'm not trying to stifle the discussion above or anything. I just think if there was a wider consensus previously, we should try to gain such a consensus again. Also I think the discussion above has devolved into a "pissing contest" about calculations, and who can do them correctly, rather than a discussion about sources, etc. Bmf 051 (talk) 22:06, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * An alternative format is presented here that just captures the leading teams, which is available directly from the FIFA website (a primary source), and therefore meets WP:OR and needs no additional calculations. Of course assumes FIFA keep this part ofthe table up-to-date, but they have during the group stage at the end of the round.

 * I'm totally on board with the idea of only showing a maximum of teams. Also for future editions of this tournament, I would always use the number of slots that are still available for the best-ranked clubs (not yet qualified as champions) in the respective confederation. As it is shown in the table above for CONMEBOL (equivalent to https://inside.fifa.com/en/fifa-rankings/mundial-de-clubes: marked in orange Currently qualified clubs).<b style="color:black">Mir</b><b style="color:#EE3939">ia~01</b> (talk) 14:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

 * I created the article so that the rankings will be shown somewhere. I feel that there is not enough information on how the teams ranked by 4-year ranking, once they secured their spot. If the article is eliminated, there should be another one with the rankings or it should be placed in the main article, even if the qualification is already resolved. I feel that a separate article may be more useful for future editions, given that the rankings will have many teams. Largopajero (talk) 18:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

4-year ranking
I was looking at the articles in other languages. The French edition has the rankings in the main article and the Spanish has a separate article.

As I believe it is a fact that the qualifying article is going to disappear, I open the debate on where the tables should go.

In my opinion, if you don't show the tables to people, they won't understand how the teams are qualified by ranking, because even when CONMEBOL is resolved, there won't even be any information about how the points are earned. In fact, that information for UEFA teams is no longer found on Wikipedia.

Without the tables it is very difficult for people to understand how Salzburg is qualified, if we do not show them that in a 4-year ranking, they surpassed Ajax by one point. We are forcing people to look for information outside of Wikipedia, when I think the goal is to give as much information as possible.

Although today the tables are on the official FIFA website, I think it is a fact that once the new qualification begins, they will disappear and there will be nothing left for the archive. Largopajero (talk) 16:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
