Arsenal’s exit from the Champions League has confirmed RB Salzburg’s spot in the FIFA Club World Cup. The Gunners needed a win to ensure their qualification, but fell to a [1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich](https://technosports.co.in/champions-league-23-24-quarter-final-leg-2/) in the second leg of their quarter final fixture.

As a result, Manchester City and Chelsea are the only Premier League clubs playing in the competition as winners of the Champions League over the past three years.

The new format of the FIFA Club World Cup will consist of 32 teams divided into eight groups of four, with the top two teams going into a knockout stage from the Round of 16. Here is the list of teams that has already qualified for the tournament:

**EUROPE**  
Chelsea  
Manchester City  
Real Madrid  
Bayern Munich  
Paris Saint-Germain  
Internazionale  
FC Porto  
Benfica  
Borussia Dortmund  
Juventus

FC Salzburg

**SOUTH AMERICA**

**CONCACAF**

Seattle Sounders FC  
León  
2024 Concacaf Champions Cup winners

**AFRICA**

**ASIA**

Arsenal not qualifying for the CWC might be a blessing in disguise, considering how packed the fixture schedule already is. They will have four competitions to play next season anyway, and adding a fifth would put much more stress on their players at a time when injuries are running rampant.

As a result, Salzburg might benefit more from qualification since their talents will receive much more exposure against teams from all around the world.
