Those who have won their continental tournaments in the last three seasons or three years - both concepts are used to equate American and European sport - are already guaranteed a ticket. There are others who, by virtue of their good performances in this period and despite not having sat on the throne of their Confederations, also have access.
The members confirmed as having won an extra-national trophy since 2021 are Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea - Champions League - Palmeiras, Flamengo, Fluminense - Copa Libertadores - Al Hilal, Urawa Reds - AFC Champions League - Wydad Athletic, Al Ahly - CAF Champions League, Leon, Monterrey and Seattle Sounders - 'Concachampions'. Asia has two representatives instead of three in this regard because Al Ahly won the 2021 and 2023 African CL; Asia, because it changed its format and the 2023 award will be on the basis of the 2023-24 campaign.
