Of the qualified teams, 12 are from Europe, six are from South America, four from Asia, four from Africa, four from North, Central America, and the Caribbean, and one from Oceania.
Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and the Seattle Sounders are the two Major League Soccer clubs that have made the tournament. Early prognostications indicate that Group B, which includes the Sounders, is the group of death alongside French giants PSG, Spanish powerhouses Atletico Madrid, and reigning Copa Libertadores champions Botafogo.
Twelve American cities will take part in hosting the Club World Cup, which also includes Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
