Mouth to the Club World Cup? FIFA evaluates invite

[Inkriql]

The 2021 Club World Cup will be held in China from June 17 to July 4 under a new format, as the number of participants will be expanded to 24 (currently there are 7 institutions). It will be held every four years and at this time there will be a key meeting to define how the distribution of places will be.

In a first sketch, quotas were established as follows: 8 places for UEFA, 6 for Conmebol, 3 for Concacaf, 3 for Africa, 3 for Asia and 1 Oceania.

Although Alejandro Domínguez will request that 8 places be awarded to South America (the same as Europe), today, with 6 six tickets, the current champions of the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana would go, the champions of the 2020 edition and the other two could be via Supercup (they will try to refloat this tournament, where the 25 American champions will be measured).

In the Old Continent Real Madrid, Liverpool, Atlético de Madrid and Chelsea would already be classified.

Faced with this situation, Boca would not be classifying the highest level at the club level today. Something similar happens to institutions such as Palmeiras, Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain and Juventus, who would not say present in the first edition of the Club World Cup “extra large”.

For this reason Gianni Infantino will hold a meeting with several presidents of different teams to try to resolve the distribution of tickets to this tournament.

"President Angelici is traveling to Switzerland on Wednesday, to FIFA, so Boca can access the Club World Cup," he acknowledged in a dialogue with Radio La Red Christian Gribaudo, candidate for president for the ruling party in the xeneize group.

The leader clarified that "it is not that Boca goes and asks for it. There is a soccer interest that Boca is in those matches. Why? For what Boca means. I don't want to talk about the other clubs. But objectively you realize they ask Boca for the world. " And he clarified: “Angelici is not going to ask. He will only participate in a meeting that has to do with the possibility of Boca joining the Club World Cup. "

It is worth noting that Boca still has options to get the classification avoiding being invited, since it could enter if you get the 2020 Libertadores or if you win the Super Cup, as long as this competition is approved (some federations expressed themselves against a Calendars issue).
