The Club World Cup is currently a seven-team tournament featuring the winners of each confederation’s club competition, plus the host nation’s league champions.
However, FIFA is planning to expand the tournament to 32 teams from 2025, with the new format set to include 12 European teams.
UEFA has said that it is not concerned about the potential clash between the Euro 2025 and the Club World Cup, with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin saying that the two tournaments can “coexist”.
UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis echoed Ceferin’s comments, saying that the two tournaments can “coexist without any problems”.
However, some have questioned whether the two tournaments can coexist without one of them being devalued.
However, others have argued that the Euro is a more prestigious tournament than the Club World Cup and that it will not be devalued by the expansion of the latter tournament.

It remains to be seen whether the Euro 2025 and the Club World Cup can coexist without one of them being devalued.
However, UEFA is confident that it can find a solution that will allow both tournaments to take place without any problems.
