I've learned that despite winning the cup, Chelsea have not secured a spot in the next edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, which will take place in 4 years. They have to re-earn the spot.
What's funny is that PSG already earned their spot in the 2029 edition by virtue of winning last season's Champions League.
On a side note, Chelsea are estimated to have earned £85m (~$114m) by winning the competition, according to Sky Sports News, while PSG got £78.4m (~$105m).
It's such a ridiculous situation. If you’ve won this cup, you should automatically qualify for the next tournament. I really think this needs to be fixed.
You win the cup, but there’s still a chance you won’t be in the next tournament, that just doesn’t make sense to me.
The teams that participated in the tournament made very good income from it, maybe even more than they could earn in their own leagues.
