Monterrey, Seattle Sounders, Leon and Pachuca will be representing CONCACAF, who have now received an additional invite as the United States will host the tournament.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed the decision on Saturday night.

"You have shown that in the United States, you are consistently the best club on the field of play, Infantino said, as per BBC Sport.
"Therefore, I am proud to announce that as one of the best clubs in the world, you are deserved participants in the new Fifa Club World Cup 2025."
