The new tournament will feature 32 teams, including Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. Recently, Dortmund’s general manager discussed the club’s level of attention towards this new Club World Cup in a media interview, stating that the club will treat it as seriously as the Champions League. Currently, 32 teams will participate in the 2025 Club World Cup, with each team guaranteed a minimum income of €50 million. For Dortmund, qualifying for the Club World Cup brings approximately €50 million in revenue. Coupled with increased participation bonuses from Champions League reforms and potential income from player sales, Dortmund could theoretically invest up to €100 million in new players for the upcoming season. It is evident that Dortmund values the new Club World Cup as much as the Champions League.
