Barcelona
and Real Madrid will be among the 12 European representatives to contest the
new Super Club World Cup.
The first
edition of FIFA’s proposal is due to take place in 2021 and consists of a
24-team competition held every four years, during the second half of June.
As a result,
the competition is expected to take away the existing tournaments: the Club
World Cup and the Confederations Cup.
The rest of
the European clubs are: Bayern Munich, Ajax, Milan, Liverpool, Manchester
United, Inter Milan, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, who are sure to
participate, while the other two teams will come from a group formed by
Manchester City, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Porto Benfica and Borussia Dortmund.
Besides the
12 teams from Europe, South America would be the most represented continent
with four or five clubs, while Asia, Africa and North America would have two
teams each. Oceania would have its representative play off against the fifth
best-placed team in South America, with the host team completing the quota of
24.
In addition,
the host nation will not have to be the country of the subsequent World Cup, as
is the case with the Confederations Cup.
