European football giants refuse to participate in the reformed Club World Cup, reports the Daily Mail.

According to the source, FIFA planned to agree on holding a Club World Cup with the participation of 32 teams in the United States.. The functionaries negotiated with representatives of European clubs during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but did not receive approval from most teams.

Now FIFA has little time left to organize the 2025 Club World Cup, because the format of the tournament has not yet been agreed, the qualification mechanism has not been determined, negotiations have not begun with broadcasters and commercial partners.

It should be noted that according to the old format, eight clubs from different football confederations take part in the KChM.

The current winner of the Club World Cup is the English “Chelsea”, which in February in the UAE in the final match beat the Brazilian “Palmeiras” (1:0).
