upcoming 2025 Club World Cup final between Chelsea and PSG, four clubs have already punched their tickets for the 2029 edition of the tournament.

In case you missed it, FIFA has revamped the Club World Cup format. It’s no longer an annual event — now, it happens every four years and features 32 of the best clubs from around the globe, making qualification more competitive and exciting.

So far, four teams have sealed their places for 2029:

Paris Saint-Germain (France) – The French giants qualified after a dominant 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final. Their European triumph guarantees them a spot in the 2029 Club World Cup.

Cruz Azul (Mexico) – The Mexican side booked their place by clinching the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup title, proving they’re still a force to reckon with in North America.

Pyramids FC (Egypt) – Emerging as champions of the CAF Champions League, this is a massive milestone for the Egyptian club, showing Africa’s football depth beyond traditional giants.

Al-Ahli (Saudi Arabia) – Fresh off winning the AFC Champions League Elite, Al-Ahli will be representing Asia with pride in the 2029 tournament.

This early list of qualifiers shows the global reach and competitive diversity of the Club World Cup’s new format. With teams from Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America already confirmed, the 2029 edition is shaping up to be a truly global football showdown.

As more continental competitions wrap up in the coming years, fans can expect more big names to join the list. Until then, all eyes are on this weekend’s 2025 final showdown between Chelsea and PSG — a glimpse of the drama and quality we can expect in future editions.
