Storied European teams have visited the United States for preseason friendly games for years but the expanded club tournament will give fans a rare chance to see 12 of them play competitive games. FIFA came back with a fresh Club World Cup plan after the Super League project led by an elite group of clubs quickly failed in April 2021 while causing intense turmoil for European soccer body UEFA. Other teams already qualified for the 2025 Club World Cup are: Palmeiras, Flamengo, Monterrey, Leon, Al-Ahly, Wydad Casablanca, Urawa Red Diamonds and Al Hilal.
