According to Marca, FIFA has agreed to award a guest spot to Inter Miami, the host team from the United States. This will be officially announced by FIFA in the near future, making this event more anticipated than ever. In addition to Inter Miami, another team has not yet been determined as the 2024 Copa Libertadores champion, the team that will participate after the final match in December.

Messi and Inter Miami’s participation in the 2025 Club World Cup will certainly add to the appeal of the tournament. Messi, who is in impressive form despite turning 37, could face big European teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, PSG and even his hometown team Boca Juniors. This will be an opportunity for fans around the world to witness the Argentine superstar compete on the international stage once again.

Lionel Messi is no stranger to the Club World Cup. During his glittering career, he has won the title three times with Barcelona in 2010, 2012 and 2016, cementing his status as one of the greatest players of all time.

Even at 37, Messi is still showing undeniable class. He recently scored a hat-trick and made two assists in a resounding 6-0 win over Bolivia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, helping Argentina firmly consolidate their position at the top of the group.

With Messi and Inter Miami taking part, the 2025 Club World Cup promises to be a major sporting event, attracting the attention of fans around the world. This is also the first time the tournament will be held in the United States, providing a great opportunity for the strongest teams from around the world to compete on the global stage.
