Traditionally, the winner of the Champions League is automatically entered into the Club World Cup which takes place every December.However, with the 2019 Club World Cup host nation not being decided until 3 June – two days after the Madrid final – there was uncertainty about the next edition.This is due to FIFA’s new plans, which were rubber-stamped in March to host an expanded version of the competition every four years.From 2021, the new format will see 24 teams compete – rather than eight in the previous model – which Liverpool are believed to have been invited to take part in.However they, along with the fellow members of the European Club Association (ECA), have opposed the proposals laid out by FIFA president Gianni Infantino, and are thought to have declined to enter the competition.Liverpool's Champions League heroes Van Dijk and Wijnaldum given standing ovation as they join Holland squad TheBBC reported that a letter penned to FIFA by the ECA read: “We are firmly against any potential approval of a revised CWC – no ECA clubs would take part.”The Confederations Cup has been scrapped to may room for the revamped Club World Cup in June and July. Teams will be split into eight groups of three teams each, with the group winners to qualify for the quarter-finals in a knockout format.“Now the world will see a real Club World Cup where fans will see the best teams in the world compete to be crowned the real world champions,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said when his proposals were green lit.The Times report there would be 12 clubs from Europe and FIFA’s preferred option for the first tournament is to invite those clubs who have won at least three Champions Leagues or European Cups.
