Qualification mechanism
With the objective of ensuring the highest quality possible based on sporting criteria over the most recent four seasons, starting from the group stage of the confederation’s relevant premier club competition, and incentivising the result of every game in the respective tournament, the following methodology for the new standard ranking was approved:
-
3 points for a win
-
1 point for a draw
-
3 points for progress to each stage of the competition
In the case of European clubs, given that three full seasons and a full group stage of the fourth season of the UEFA Champions League have already been completed, and since UEFA has an existing club coefficient system, the pre-existing methodology principles for the purpose of calculating the UEFA club coefficient in relation to matches in the UEFA Champions League only will be exceptionally applied to determine the ranking of European clubs for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. The approved methodology for the ranking of European teams is therefore as follows:
-
2 points for a win
-
1 point for a draw
-
4 points for qualification for the group stage
-
5 points for qualification for the round of 16
-
1 point for progress to each stage of the competition thereafter
