The revamped FIFA Club World Cup takes place this summer, as 32 of the best teams in world football ascend on the USA for the newly formatted tournament.
The best of Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Oceania will contest the trophy, but how did the teams from each confederation qualify for the Club World Cup?
We look at how the teams from North America booked their place in America this summer.
What teams from North America will be part of the Club World Cup?
There are five different teams from North America making the journey to the States.
- CF Monterrey
- Seattle Sounders
- Leon
- Pachuca
- Inter Miami
How did these teams qualify?
The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) were allocated four teams, with the four most recent CONCACAF Champions League (now the CONCACAF Champions Cup) winners, CF Monterrey (2021), Seattle Sounders (2022), Leon (2023) and Pachuca (2024), automatically qualifying.
FIFA also designated a slot for the host nation, with Inter Miami earning that berth by winning the 2024 MLS Supporters' Shield.
