As is usual the Champions League winners qualify for the Club World Cup held in the same year, a maximum of 2 games for us as we enter at the semi-final stage. However, our win in Istanbul has already also qualified us for the 2025 tournament.
If FIFA gets its way, 2023 is the last time this tournament will be held annually, with the next being planned during June and July in 2025 and will then be held every 4 years, with 32 teams taking part. Proposals are yet to be agreed so it may never happen, but if it does it will create chaos with our domestic calendar, and players facing burn out with Euros, expanded World Cups and now proposed summer Club World Cups.
