FIFA has allocated 32 clubs in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025, for the inaugural edition of the men’s tournament. The format is similar to the World Cup with 13 European teams and six South American teams.

The definition was approved at a meeting of the FIFA Council chaired by Gianni Infantino in Kedah, Saudi Arabia this Sunday.
