The 2021 FIFA Club World Cup was the 22nd edition of the tournament. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was hosted in Qatar behind closed doors.

Qualification
A total of 32 teams enter the competition based on their performances in their confederation's champions league. The teams participating depended on their performances between 2019 and 2021, depending on the format of the continent's respective tournament.

The number of teams each association contributes is based on their FIFA coefficient ranking, which determines an association's performance in the FIFA Club World Cup. For the 2021 through 2023 editions, UEFA is given 12 berths, allocated amongst the finalists of its Champions and Europa League. CONMEBOL is given six berths allocated amongst its Copa Sudamericana and Libertadores champions and finalists. AFC, CAF, and CONCACAF are given four berths allocated amongst its Champions League champions and finalists. Finally, OFC is given one berth allocated to a "super cup" winner of the 2019 and 2020 Champions League.

Draw
The draw was held on 30 August 2021 at 13:00 CEST at FIFA Headquarters in Geneva. The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four, by selecting one team from each of the four ranked pots.

Teams were seeded in pots based on geography, while pot one had the top 7 clubs based on FIFA coefficient and the host club. Except for UEFA, teams from the same confederation could not be drawn into the same group
