FIFA is likely to welcome Barcelona for the Club World Cup after missing qualification.
Barcelona’s exclusion from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup was a significant financial setback, but there is some hope for the Catalan club as the world football governing body is apparently considering inviting the Spanish club to participate in the tournament, according to journalist David Faitelson.
The Blaugrana failed to qualify owing to uneven UEFA Champions League results between 2021 and 2024, which impacted their UEFA coefficient.
Atletico Madrid took Spain’s second spot alongside Real Madrid, leaving Barcelona empty-handed.
