The expanded FIFA Club World Cup takes place in 2025, featuring Manchester City and Chelsea - and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami - involved.
The new-look Club World Cup will feature 32 teams and will be played every four years from the summer of 2025. It is an expansion of the previous version of the tournament, which took place every year and involved just seven teams from around the world.
From format to key dates, the venues and the full match schedule, here's all you need to know about the FIFA Club World Cup.
When is the 2025 Club World Cup?
The Club World Cup will take place over 29 days in the summer of 2025.
The tournament starts on June 15, with the final taking place on July 13.
What is the prize money for the 2025 Club World Cup?
The winners of the Club World Cup will receive up to £97m ($125m) from FIFA.
Prize money of £774m ($1bn) is to be shared between the 32 clubs - with £406m ($525m) participation fee shared based on sporting and commercial criteria, and £368m ($475m) shared based on sporting performance.
FIFA are not keeping any revenue and it expects to share another £200m ($250m) with clubs across the world as solidarity payments.
Analysis: 'A lot of money for just seven games'
Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol:
"It's a lot of money because this is just all four weeks work, it's just for seven games.
"If you win the FA Cup, the oldest domestic competition in world football, you get through £3.9m. But of course, winning the FA Cup, you don't want to win the FA Cup just for money, you want to win it for the prestige.
"If you win the Premier League, that is worth around £176m. The Champions League, the new format, it's estimated that you could earn up to £135m, if you win it, but that is for playing up to 15 games, and the club World Cup £97m."
