In 2019, the FIFA approved the new World-wide of Clubs, that will contest each four years and will replace to the Glass Confederations. It was foreseen that it began during the 2021, but the pandemia of the COVID-19 has delayed all the plans and finally will see the light in the 2022, when it also will be the Glass of the World in Catar. The tournament will change his frequency and current placing. Besides, everything aims to that his second headquarters can be delivered between United States, Mexico and Canada, countries commissioned of the organzación of the World-wide of selections of 2026.

The format still has not been explained by the FIFA, but already know some details. It will contest in China, probably. Of agreement to the information of 'Sportive World' the road of access for the European teams will not be as it had posed to finals of 2019, when it explained that they would participate the four last champions of the Champions and Europe League. With this format, the FC Barcelona would not have his participation ensured.

However, of agreement to the quoted half, the Barça himself will participate in the tournament, although the FIFA save total silence regarding the participants. When Josep María Bartomeu presented his resignation like president of the Barcelona, confirmed that the club had accepted "the new format of the World-wide of Clubs proposed by the FIFA", the same day that accepted the requerimentos for the new Superliga European. The now ex mandator blaugrana was one of the protagonists of the original idea, participating actively in meetings in Zúrich and Vienna.

First approach of the competition

In the moment that the FIFA approved the new World-wide of Clubs, knew some details of his format, although they expect that they change anytime. Of any way, in 2019 posed that the championship went to have a total 24 participants, instead of seven as up to now. They would find eight European applicants (the four more recent champions of the Champions and Europe League), six teams sudamericanos and nine squares between Africa, Centroamérica and Asia, that is to say, three for each federation. The remaining would be for Oceania.

In this sense, the tournament would organise in eight groups of three teams each one, with an alone pass to the eliminatory phase. Afterwards, there will be a phase to face or cross that would begin in the quarter-finals and that would have several stadiums. Until the moment, thinks that the prize for the winning club will be of at all more and at all less than 100 million euros and would be tied with the new Superliga European, regarding the subject of the group investor.
