FIFA did not detail how many cities and stadiums will host the 2025 edition. This will be the first time that the tournament will feature 32 teams.
The Super World Cup will be held between June 15 and July 13, 2025 The competition already has 30 qualified teams, with three Brazilians among them: Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense. Brazil may have one more representative. This is because Atlético-MG and Botafogo are fighting for the last South American place in the competition — the Libertadores title gives them the place. Peñarol [if they win the Libertadores] and Olímpia [if River wins the Libertadores] are the other teams in the running.
The places are divided into: 12 for Europe, six for South America, four for Asia, Africa and North, Central America and the Caribbean, one for Oceania and one for the host country.
In addition to the remaining MLS spot, which has not yet defined its representative, the other available entry belongs to South America. It is destined for the champion of the edition of 2024 of the Libertadores. If River Plate wins the title, it will be transferred to the Conmebol ranking in FIFA and would already have an owner: Olímpia-PAR.

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Romário discussed details of the series "Romário, o Cara", which portrays the period lived by the little guy in the 1994 World Cup qualifiers up to the world title. When asked about the teammate who understood him best on the field, Romário was categorical.
"The best guy who understood me as a striker was Bebeto", said Romário. In the United States Cup, the duo scored eight goals together, and Romário, number 11, was chosen as the star of the competition. The partnership between the two players is remembered to this day as one of the most efficient in the history of Brazilian football. /p>
In the series produced by Max, Romário reveals his combative personality. In the very first episode, he says: "I like peace, but I function more in war." Known for his frankness and firmness, Romário does not hide his combative side. "I'm a calm guy, in my own way. I like to live my life, my business. But there aren't any idiots here. If you want a fight, you want a war, there will be one. It's like that", he explained.
"Romário, o Cara" is a documentary series divided into six episodes, exploring the trajectory of one of the greatest players in the history of world football. The production focuses on the early 90s, when Romário had a conflictive relationship with the technical committee of the Brazilian team before becoming champion in the 1994 World Cup. The series is available on the Max streaming service in Brazil.
