South American teams with ambitions of claiming one of the three remaining spots at the inaugural Mundial de Clubes FIFA 25™ now know their first steps to the tournament after the group stage draw for the 2024 CONMEBOL Libertadores was made in Asuncion, Paraguay.
The group stage kicks off on 2 April with 32 clubs. The final will be played in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 30 November.
Will the champions qualify for Mundial de Clubes FIFA 25?
Yes. The team that lifts the trophy in the Argentinian capital will become the fourth South American champion to join the 32-team party set for the USA next year, leaving two slots still open.
However, that will only happen if the champions are NOT one of the Brazilian trio of Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Fluminense, who have claimed South American club football’s biggest prize in each of the last three years respectively.
What happens if Palmeiras, Flamengo, or Fluminense win again?
Three places will be available to the 21 clubs still in the running to qualify for the tournament via the ranking pathway.
