According to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the 2025 Club World Cup will have 32 teams, making the format comparable to the current World Cup of soccer. The competition, which now features seven teams, would be staged every four years, according to him, and would increase revenue for the international sports organization. The Club World Cup is now contested by the best teams from each continental league and the host nation's national champion.

He claimed that FIFA anticipated $11 billion in revenue for the four years between 2022 and 2026, but that figure did not account for the new club World Cup structure in 2025. "This 11 billion sum excludes the World Cup for clubs (in 2025). We will generate even more revenue at the conclusion of the four years "In a press conference, Infantino stated. The United States, Canada, and Mexico will jointly host the 2026 World Cup.

The 2022 Club World Cup, which is typically held in December but was postponed this year due to the World Cup being played in Qatar, will be held in Morocco from February 1–11, 2023, according to Infantino. Following its meeting on Friday, the FIFA Council made the decision.
