Official announcement of the team's involvement in the tournament is expected in the coming week.

The 2025 Club World Cup will feature 32 clubs from across the globe for the first time, after FIFA chose to expand the tournament from its previous seven-team format. World soccer's governing body awarded 12 spots to Europe (UEFA), six to South America (CONEMBOL), four each to North America and the Caribbean (Concacaf), Asia (AFC) and Africa (CAF) and one to Oceania (OFC).
