FIFA Shocks Fans: Barcelona Not Considered for 2025 Club World Cup

By Scores.wiki Staff · March 25, 2026 at 09:37 PM ET

FIFA has not considered inviting Barcelona to participate in the 2025 Club World Cup, as reported by MARCA. Speculation arose following Club Leon's suspension from the competition, leading to suggestions of Barcelona as a replacement due to their impressive season across La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.

Despite Barcelona's strong campaign and potential inclusion in the expanded Club World Cup format, FIFA is holding off on any decisions until the Court of Arbitration for Sport resolves Club Leon's appeal. Until then, Barcelona fans will have to wait as FIFA prioritizes due process over immediate team replacements for the tournament.
