FIFA have now confirmed the details for the draw ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup hosted by the United States.

Next summer’s club tournament Stateside will be the first edition of a brand new 32-team tournament launched by FIFA to reinvent and re-inspire the smaller-scale tournament previous marketed as the Club World Cup.
